We are incredibly excited to release CBSecurity 3. This is a significant release with over six months of work invested in it.

CommandBox 5.2.0 added a new feature called Server Profiles which allow you to dial in a bevy of development or production lockdown rules in a single setting. Each profile can be tweaked with individual settings to customize them.
Today we are pleased to announce the final release of CommandBox 5.2.0. This release has been 5 months in the making and covers nearly 50 tickets. We've already covered the full list of new features and enhancements in our release candidate announcement which you can read here:

After a month of RC testing, we've made several additional improvements and are ready to release.
I wanted to highlight a recent project I help a client out with, where we used CFConfig to help automate the process of applying government STIGs to ColdFusion servers. A STIG, or Security Technical Implementation Guide, is meant to standardize the process of setting up and auditing secure servers. If you manage servers in a government or corporate setting, you may be familiar with this. If not, you should still be automating your locks downs anyway, so keep reading.
More and more people are using CommandBox or our Ortus Docker containers (powered by CommandBox) for production deployments. Commandbox uses JBoss Undertow which is very lightweight and fast, and capable of service traffic just as fast as IIS or Apache. A lot of people ask me about running CommandBox in production and I always say it's find so long as you follow the same basic lockdown procedures you'd take on any web server. If you have IIS or Apache sitting in front of CommandBox, most of this configuration can happen there, but for people who want drop-dead simply prod servers, here's some quick tips on locking down your CommandBox server.
We are so excited to release The ColdBox Security Module version 2.0.0. It has been quite a few years since we did a major version of our security module, but it is worth the wait. It is just easier to say we completely rewrote it in modern CFML and introduced modern Security practices, HMVC security to modules, annotation driven security and JWT token services. Never again write API security, we got you covered! We also completelty rewrote the documentation and now we have yet another awesome security book: https://coldbox-security.ortusbooks.com/
