What is Auth0?
Auth0 hands tenants a throttle on their own noisy apps
Custom Rate Limits enter Early Access, letting a tenant cap requests per second for individual clients or whole classes of them — third-party, CIMD — so one application cannot exhaust the tenant's Authentication API rate limit entitlement. Policies are configured through an API and can be rolled out in notify-only mode before they start blocking. It arrives in a dense window that also brought Flexible Password Policy to GA and Custom Prompts parity across social and enterprise connections.
What is Greenbone Vulnerability Manager?
Greenbone's scanner daemon is growing a web-application scanning class beside its network roots.
gvmd releases every week or two, and the changelog splits cleanly in three: a sustained build-out of web application scanning, a rewrite of how reports are modeled and exported, and a long tail of memory-management fixes in the C core. Recent versions added web application scanner preferences, scanner verification, and a Web Application VT subtype with a database migration. The report work moved from ad-hoc XML toward a structured report model addressable through new GMP commands.

Auth0

Auth0 hands tenants a throttle on their own noisy apps
◆ Current state
Custom Rate Limits enter Early Access, letting a tenant cap requests per second for individual clients or whole classes of them — third-party, CIMD — so one application cannot exhaust the tenant's Authentication API rate limit entitlement. Policies are configured through an API and can be rolled out in notify-only mode before they start blocking. It arrives in a dense window that also brought Flexible Password Policy to GA and Custom Prompts parity across social and enterprise connections.
◆ Where it's heading
Two threads dominate. One is agent and delegation infrastructure — Agents as Principal, Token Vault Privileged Worker, Custom Token Exchange session delegation — all still in Early Access. The other is tenant self-service: rate limits, blocklists, organization search and roles, global search. Auth0 is systematically converting things that required support intervention into API-configurable policy.
◆ Prediction
The Early Access items now stacking up, particularly the agent-identity pieces, are the obvious GA candidates next, following the Flexible Password Policy path from Early Access to general availability.
Greenbone Vulnerability Manager
6.3INFRA · APIS
Greenbone's scanner daemon is growing a web-application scanning class beside its network roots.
◆ Current state
gvmd releases every week or two, and the changelog splits cleanly in three: a sustained build-out of web application scanning, a rewrite of how reports are modeled and exported, and a long tail of memory-management fixes in the C core. Recent versions added web application scanner preferences, scanner verification, and a Web Application VT subtype with a database migration. The report work moved from ad-hoc XML toward a structured report model addressable through new GMP commands.
◆ Where it's heading
Greenbone is widening what gvmd can orchestrate. Network and container scanning were the existing surface; web application scanning is being brought to parity, with its own VT class, preferences, validation, and verification path. In parallel the GMP protocol is gaining first-class report retrieval commands, which makes report data consumable by tooling rather than only renderable. The bug-fix stream is dominated by frees and cleanup in long-lived report paths, the signature of a codebase under memory pressure at scale.
◆ Prediction
Web Application VTs now have a subtype, a migration, and scanner verification, but the audit and scan report commands were added separately; expect the report model work to fold web application results into the same structured retrieval path rather than leaving a parallel one.
