Release notes for the February, 8 2026 update
Update Version 4.1.202602061610
New Features
Added the option to Discover and Import Kubernetes containers.
This option automatically discovers namespaces, pods, and containers within Kubernetes deployments and can optionally import them into the Credential Vault. It supports both discovery-only and discovery-and-import modes, enabling organizations to identify and manage containers running across Kubernetes environments.
Discovery and import processes can be scheduled to run periodically, ensuring the Vault stays up to date as new pods and containers are created.
To reflect the hierarchical structure of Kubernetes and simplify navigation and search, the import process maps Kubernetes namespaces and pods to Credential Vault folders, creating individual containers as assets within their corresponding namespace and pod.
Imported assets automatically inherit discovery access and authentication for immediate privileged access.
The import process applies Intelligent Tagging rules to imported assets, enabling easier search, streamlined asset management, and consistent application of system policies.
