Global – October 31, 2026 -- CIQ is preparing the ML-KEM and ML-DSA post-quantum algorithm implementations in Network Security Services (NSS) for FIPS 140-3 validation. Distinguished Engineer Jeremy Allison, a Samba co-creator, leads the effort, which also covers Common Criteria evaluation for Rocky Linux from CIQ Pro (RLC Pro) and other CIQ products.

Global – October 13, 2026 -- Tenable has released Nessus detection plugins built from CIQ's security advisories, so CVEs that CIQ has already fixed on Rocky Linux from CIQ Pro (RLC Pro) hosts now resolve in scan results instead of showing as unpatched.

Community advisories left CIQ fixes uncounted on pinned LTS hosts

RLC Pro LTS lets customers pin a host to a minor release and keep receiving security fixes on it. Even-numbered minor releases receive four years of security patching, and CIQ documents those fixes in its own advisories.
