What is Zluri?

Zluri is turning SaaS management into identity governance, and Segregation of Duties is the pivot.

Zluri now covers discovery, access requests, access reviews and Segregation of Duties enforcement in one product. September releases spread SoD conflict signals into both access requests and certifications, and they gave approvers more control over who decides. The latest release closes a data-trust gap: JDBC, on-prem AD, CSV and SDK sources now show when they last refreshed.

What is LNbits?

LNbits 1.7.1 follows the urgent 1.7.0 fix by rotating auth keys.

LNbits shipped v1.7.1 a day after 1.7.0, a security patch that rotates authentication keys, and again asks every operator to update immediately. 1.7.0 paired critical security fixes with TOTP two-factor login, on-chain wallets, BOLT12 offer payments, a job scheduler and outgoing payment webhooks.

7.5

Zluri is turning SaaS management into identity governance, and Segregation of Duties is the pivot.

◆ Current state

Zluri now covers discovery, access requests, access reviews and Segregation of Duties enforcement in one product. September releases spread SoD conflict signals into both access requests and certifications, and they gave approvers more control over who decides. The latest release closes a data-trust gap: JDBC, on-prem AD, CSV and SDK sources now show when they last refreshed.

◆ Where it's heading

The product is moving from SaaS discovery and spend toward the IGA territory of policy, certification, and remediation. Each release either adds a governance control or makes the underlying identity data more trustworthy. The Workflows v2 canvas, SoD detection and source prioritization all support automated, auditable access decisions.

◆ Prediction

SoD and Workflows v2 are likely to move from early access and beta to general availability. Expect deeper links between them, such as SoD violations triggering canvas playbooks directly.

LNbits 1.7.1 follows the urgent 1.7.0 fix by rotating auth keys.

◆ Current state

LNbits shipped v1.7.1 a day after 1.7.0, a security patch that rotates authentication keys, and again asks every operator to update immediately. 1.7.0 paired critical security fixes with TOTP two-factor login, on-chain wallets, BOLT12 offer payments, a job scheduler and outgoing payment webhooks.

◆ Where it's heading

LNbits is moving from a Lightning wallet layer toward a broader payments platform with WASM extensions, on-chain wallets and BOLT12, while a security incident forces quick follow-up patches. Key rotation suggests the 1.7.0 issue may have exposed existing credentials.

◆ Prediction

Expect more 1.7.x patches and security guidance in the coming days before attention returns to the new wallet and payment features.
