## Announcements
### New BloodHound Enterprise Capabilities
Read Justin Kohler's recent blog post on [new BloodHound Enterprise capabilities](https://specterops.io/blog/2026/03/18/bloodhound-enterprise-expands-beyond-microsoft-mapping-identity-attack-paths-across-okta-github-and-mac-environments/) that extend Identity Attack Path Management beyond traditional identity infrastructure into Okta, GitHub, and Jamf-managed macOS environments.
Register for the [webinar](https://pages.specterops.io/WBNR-Webinar-Hosted-260331-ExtendingAttackPathManagement.html) with Jared Atkinson and Justin Kohler on March 31 to see how BloodHound Enterprise uncovers attack paths across Okta, GitHub, and Mac environments, helping teams prioritize what matters. They will also discuss additional enhancements, including Privilege Zones and role-based access control (RBAC).
### New Episode: Know Your Adversary
A [new episode](https://specterops.io/know-your-adversary/palo-alto-networks-unit-42-with-special-guest-steve-elovitz/?utm_source=linkedin\&utm_medium=social\&utm_campaign=soc-podcast-260319-palo-alto-networks) of the Know Your Adversary podcast dropped this week. Hear from Steve Elovitz from Palo Alto Networks' Unit 42 on how modern adversaries operate once inside an environment, why identity has become a primary entry point for many attacks, and the attack patterns his team most frequently sees during incident response engagements.

| **Release** | **BloodHound** | **SharpHound** | **AzureHound** |
| 2026-03-23 | v8.9.0 | v2.11.0 | v2.11.0 |
This release introduces new features, enhancements, and fixed issues to improve data collection, OpenGraph ingestion capabilities, and general usability. Key highlights include:
* Privilege Zones is now [generally available](/resources/release-notes/2026-03-23#bloodhound)!

* BloodHound Enterprise now allows you to upload nodes and edges in separate OpenGraph data payloads without losing disconnected nodes after ingestion.
It also includes a [breaking change](/resources/release-notes/2026-03-23#bloodhound-4) for OpenGraph data payloads.
