+### Binary drift now supports blocking (Preview)
+
+February 22, 2026
+
+Binary drift now supports blocking in preview. With this update, you can configure binary drift policies to not only detect but also block unauthorized changes to container images at runtime. This enhancement helps prevent potential security breaches by stopping the execution of binaries within the containers that have been tampered with or contain unexpected modifications, providing an additional layer of protection for your containerized workloads.
