November 6, 2019Nov 6, 201911/6/19New preview capabilities for Azure Pipelines let you define artifact policies that are enforced before deploying to critical environments such as production. You will be able to define custom policies that are evaluated against all the deployable artifacts in a given pipeline run and block the deployment if the artifacts don't comply.
June 26, 2019Jun 26, 201906/26/19Auditing for Azure DevOps is now available for all organizations as a Public Preview! A new way to monitor activities and changes throughout Azure DevOps organizations.
May 31, 2019May 31, 201905/31/19Azure DevOps is currently investing in enhancing its routing structure. As a result of this enhancement, our IP address space will be changing.

September 27, 2018Sep 27, 201809/27/18Azure DevOps now supports AzureAD (AAD) users accessing organizations that are backed by Microsoft accounts (MSA).

August 21, 2018Aug 21, 201808/21/18Static Application Security Testing (SAST) is a critical DevSecOps practice. As engineering organizations accelerate continuous delivery to impressive levels, it’s important to ensure that continuous security validation keeps up. To do so most effectively requires a multi-dimensional application of static analysis tools. The more customizable the tool, the better you can shape it to your actual security risk.
August 8, 2018Aug 8, 201808/8/18On the 24th of July 2018, we notified some customers via e-mail and on this blog about a planned action that we would start taking in relation to the malicious ESLint NPM package incident. This action is now underway.
July 24, 2018Jul 24, 201807/24/18As promised in the Protecting our users from the ESLint NPM package breach blog post last week, we have deployed new REST APIs to allow administrators of Visual Studio Team Services (VSTS) accounts to centrally revoke Personal Access Tokens (PAT) and JSON Web Tokens (JWT) created by users in their accounts.
July 18, 2018Jul 18, 201807/18/18On the 12th of July 2018, malicious code was detected in two popular open-source NPM packages, eslint-scope (version 3.7.2) and eslint-config-eslint (version 5.0.2). As a result, developers who downloaded and installed these packages may have had credentials stored in their .npmrc file compromised.
July 5, 2018Jul 5, 201807/5/18Today, we’re excited to announce that users with the Stakeholder access level can now be administrators in Visual Studio Team Services (VSTS). With these upcoming changes, Stakeholders can administer access levels, permissions, and settings – if they have been granted permissions to do so.
