February 2026 — Focused on expanding security scan coverage for AKS deployments in rancher/security-scan. Delivered an AKS 1.7 Security Scan Coverage Enhancement by updating target mapping to include additional components, enabling more comprehensive vulnerability detection for Kubernetes clusters.
