2026.01.c
Highlights
The 2026.01.c release adds support for VPN connections to Data Bridge.
VPN Connections to Data Bridge
VPN for Data Bridge, a new product, allows Data Bridge customers to establish the Data Bridge connectivity via site-to-site VPN capability. This ensures that you can connect to Data Bridge just like you connect to your on-premises infrastructure. This was released to a limited number of customers in 2025, but is now available for purchase by all.
Data Bridge licensees can create, manage, and monitor site-to-site VPN connections for their Data Bridge instances. This helps streamline the T-SQL connectivity for your Data Bridge instance, making the connection more secure. With VPN for Data Bridge, Data Bridge administrators no longer need to maintain the CIDR block IPs.
Data Bridge admins can:
- Create, update, or delete VPN connection for their Data Bridge server instances.
- Switch the Data Bridge connectivity from CIDR block whitelisting to site-to-site VPN connection.
- View and manage VPN configurations and logs from the Admin Center.

VPN Entitlement
An entitlement is an access control that permits a principal (client or end user) to access a particular application, API operation, or resource. The Intelligent Risk Platform uses entitlements to control access to applications (e.g. Risk Modeler), products (e.g. Data Vault), data (e.g. ESG, Location Intelligence), and models that are restricted by license.
The VPN entitlement (IC-VPN) controls access to operations that enable client applications to access and perform operations in support of Data Bridge VPN configurations.
To learn more about entitlements and their use in controlling access to Platform APIs operations, see Entitlements.
VPN Configuration
All VPN configuration can be managed using the Tenant Data API.
The Tenant Data API operations collects operations for managing tenant-level operational resources required for integration with Intelligent Risk Platform.
The Tenant Data API supports the following operations in support of configuring VPN connections to Data Bridge:
- Search Encryption Keys
GET/platform/tenantdata/v1/encryption-keys - Create Encryption Key
GET/platform/tenantdata/v1/encryption-keys - Get Encryption Key
GET/platform/tenantdata/v1/encryption-keys/{key-id} - Update Encryption Key
GET/platform/tenantdata/v1/encryption-keys/{key-id} - Search VPN Connections
GET/platform/tenantdata/v1/vpn-connections - Create VPN Connection
GET/platform/tenantdata/v1/vpn-connections - Get VPN Connection
GET/platform/tenantdata/v1/vpn-connections/{connection-id} - Delete VPN Connection
GET/platform/tenantdata/v1/vpn-connections/{connection-id} - Update VPN Connection
GET/platform/tenantdata/v1/vpn-connections/{connection-id}
To perform these operations the client application must belong to a group that has been assigned the Admin or Data Bridge Admin roles.
SQL Server Updates
Microsoft plans to end extended support of SQL Server 2016 on July 14, 2026. As a result, the Intelligent Risk Platform™ will end support for SQL Server 2016 in June 2026.
Exporting to RDM on Data Bridge
The Risk Modeler API and Export API now support backward compatibility by which client applications can specify the database schema version of exported exposure and analysis result data. This feature is designed to enable Intelligent Risk Platform tenants to share data with teams and partners on older environments without the need to update the schema version of primary EDMs or RDMs,
This update affects the way that analysis result data is stored to hosted RDMs on Data Bridge.
Export to a new RDM on Data Bridge
If the client exports results data to a new RDM on Data Bridge, the client application can specify the data schema version of the RDM and the result data stored in that RDM. Botht the operation in Risk Modeler and the Create Export Job operation in the Export API now support the schemaVersion parameter that specifies the database schema version of exported data. The parameter accepts the following values: v18, v21, v22, v23, v24, v25.
Export to an existing RDM on Data Bridge
If the client exports results data to an existing RDM on Data Bridge, the data schema version of the RDM cannot be specified.
The exported data is exported in the current database schema version and the hosted RDM is automaitcally updated to version 25.
