Dev Machine Guard adds native Linux support for fleet visibility

Dev Machine Guard now supports Linux, running natively on Linux while already covering macOS and Windows, so the same scanning engine can see every developer machine in your fleet from one dashboard. The release enables Linux developers to appear in the dashboard alongside non-Linux machines after installing the .deb or .rpm and pointing to your tenant.

It covers AI coding agents (including Claude, Cursor, GitHub Copilot, and Codex), AI CLI tools, IDE extensions across multiple platforms, MCP server configurations, npm packages both globally and per-project, Linux system packages, and local frameworks, processes, and shell tooling. Device inventory now includes hostname, distro and kernel version, and BIOS serial number, with detection powered by native Linux mechanisms rather than emulation of other platforms.

The Community tier remains open-source and free, running locally and producing a JSON or HTML report, while the Enterprise tier adds a centralised dashboard, policy enforcement for IDE extensions, MCP servers, and AI agents, cooldown periods for new npm and PyPI packages, and historical reporting across the fleet. This update closes the Linux coverage gap and lets security teams see which developer machines have the affected packages or extensions in minutes.
