GitLab 16 brings wide range of new security, compliance, AI, capabilities to ship software faster

By David M Williams

DevSecOps platform GitLab has announced the launch of GitLab 16 with new DevSecOps platform-wide capabilities available to customers now.

The new GitLab 16 features provide a range of capabilities in security, compliance, artificial intelligence, and value stream analysis, all aimed at helping customers ship software faster.

The release brings great new features to customers now, while also setting a basis for more features to come through the year.

These features include:

Delivering AI-Powered Workflows

GitLab 16 brings to market an enterprise-grade, AI-powered DevSecOps platform with capabilities encompassing Code Suggestions, enabling users to write better code faster and more efficiently, as well as security testing and analysis, observability, and proactive vulnerability detection. GitLab’s privacy-first approach ensures enterprises and highly-regulated organisations can remain confident their intellectual property stays within GitLab’s infrastructure. Additional current AI-powered features include Suggested Reviewers, Explain This Code, Explain This Vulnerability and Value Stream Forecasting and upcoming features will include Refactor This Code and Resolve This Vulnerability.

Strengthening Software Supply Chain Security

GitLab empowers teams to balance speed and security by automating software delivery and securing customers’ end-to-end software supply chain. Enterprises can start, scale, and secure their software supply chains, gain complete visibility into their threat landscape, and establish policies to aid compliance adherence to deliver secure software faster. New and enhanced security features include enhanced centralised policy management, expanded compliance reports and controls, compliance dashboards, and default SLSA Level 3 attestations.

Meeting Complex Compliance and Regulatory Needs

GitLab Dedicated, which is planned to be generally available this summer, is a single-tenant software as a service (SaaS) solution, providing organisations within highly regulated industries or having stringent compliance requirements the benefits of an enterprise DevSecOps platform with a focus on data residency, isolation, and private networking.

Tailoring Custom Value Stream Management

Value Stream Management allows customers to visualise end-to-end DevSecOps workstreams, manage software development processes, and gain insight into how digital transformation and technology investments deliver value and drive business results. GitLab’s Value Stream Analytics helps organisations visualise and manage the DevSecOps workflow from ideation to delivery, and the Value Stream Dashboard features an enterprise-wide view of DevOps Research and Assessment (DORA) metrics, cycle times, and other key metrics like critical vulnerabilities and deployment frequency.

The current and upcoming updates to GitLab 16 reflect the industry demand for AI integrated with DevSecOps workflows and the need for organisations to ship secure software faster, according to GitLab’s 7th annual Global DevSecOps Report, Security Without Sacrifices. The surveyfound that 65% of developers are using artificial intelligence and machine learning in testing efforts or plan to in the next three years. The report also found that security, efficiency, and automation were the top benefits of a DevSecOps platform. The new functionalities released with GitLab 16 enable organisations to leverage the power of AI to deliver software efficiently, without compromising security.

“GitLab 16 delivers the most comprehensive enterprise DevSecOps platform in the market with more AI-powered capabilities available to customers today than any other DevOps or DevSecOps platform," said GitLab chief product officer David DeSanto. “This major milestone defines the next evolution of the AI-powered enterprise DevSecOps Platform, improving efficiency not just for developers but everyone in the organisation who contributes to delivering software. From providing stronger security and more reliable and scalable governance to enabling companies with a more complete view of their technology value streams, GitLab helps customers accelerate their digital transformation initiatives through every step of the software development lifecycle.
