Nextcloud Hub 26 Winter security update. 🔐 Two-factor authentication reminders, improved DLPs & more

Nextcloud is widely used in the public sector, educational organizations, and enterprises with strict security demands.

In these environments, protecting sensitive data is essential.

So how do we make that happen?

In Nextcloud Hub 26 Winter, you’ll discover a range of new and improved features to ensure that your collaboration solutions meet the strictest security demands.

🔐 Two-factor authentication reminders
Nextcloud now warns administrators when 2FA is not enabled and adds it to quick admin presets, making it easier to secure new installations.

✅ Consistent access control across apps
Permissions defined in Nextcloud Files automatically apply across sharing, communication, and collaboration features, reducing the risk of unintended data exposure.

🏷 Improved Data Loss Prevention (DLP)
Security classification labels can automatically tag sensitive files based on document content or metadata. With this release, labels update in real time when content changes, ensuring security policies always stay accurate.

🤝 Security that fits your infrastructure
Nextcloud integrates into existing security concepts, including identity management, monitoring, and network segmentation, instead of forcing organizations to change their architecture.

🛠 Security through constant maintenance
A large part of Nextcloud’s work happens behind the scenes: Over 95% of updates focus on maintenance, security improvements, and keeping the platform up to date for long-term reliability and safety.
