Deployment Protection: Added security controls now available on all plans
TL;DR
Software deployments often lack adequate security measures, exposing applications to vulnerabilities. Vercel has introduced Deployment Protection, a set of security controls available across all plans.
✦ Why It Matters
Engineers can now implement stronger security measures in their deployments without needing to upgrade their service plan.
Key Takeaways
- Secure preview deployments with Vercel Authentication for easy team access.
- Use Shareable Links to share previews with external collaborators effortlessly.
- Implement Advanced Deployment Protection for enhanced security and programmatic access.
- Protect production deployments similarly to preview deployments with a single setting.
How It Works
Vercel Authentication allows users to log in with their Vercel account, enabling seamless access to protected previews. Shareable Links can be generated by appending a query string to the preview URL, allowing external users to view deployments without logging in.
Advanced Deployment Protection introduces a header secret that grants programmatic access to secured previews, facilitating integration with end-to-end testing tools.
