October 2025: Two major feature deliveries across Rancher UI and NeuVector manager, with a focus on security governance, extension management, and admin UX improvements. Delivered production-ready UI and configuration enhancements, enabling better policy enforcement and streamlined extension management.

In September 2025, neuvector/manager delivered two key outcomes that enhance usability, security, and configurability of the Network Service and Admission Control export flows. A bug fix refined UI visibility logic so an unexpected user reference checkbox is not shown during Admission Control export, reducing user confusion and preventing incorrect exports. A new configuration capability introduces strict_group_mode for the Network Service, enabling explicit control over group privilege levels and aligning with least-privileged security practices.
