Embarcadero Launches Community Poll to Name RAD Studio 13

Embarcadero is asking developers worldwide to pick the next destination-themed code name for its flagship IDE, inviting votes for “Syracuse” or “Florence” as the official title of RAD Studio 13. The call went out on the company's blog last week, marking the latest step in a long-running tradition that has seen releases named after cities such as Seattle, Berlin, Tokyo, Sydney and, most recently, Athens.

According to the post by General Manager Atanas Popov, work on RAD Studio 13 is already under way and will extend the AI-driven features introduced in version 12.3. Popov described artificial intelligence as “a once-in-a-generation opportunity” to reinvent Delphi and RAD Studio applications, promising continued investment in tools that help developers modernise legacy code and build new, AI-enhanced apps.

The two Italian finalists were chosen for their historical links to innovation. Syracuse evokes Archimedes and the classical world’s scientific heritage, while Florence symbolises Renaissance creativity and the genius of Leonardo da Vinci. Embarcadero partners have already cast preliminary votes, but the public poll remains open “to hear from the broader community.”

Developers can record their choice via a short online form linked in the blog post; results will guide the official branding when RAD Studio 13 ships. No release timeline has been announced, but Embarcadero says the new version will continue the IDE’s shift toward AI-assisted development, performance improvements and cross-platform modernisation.

Tenable Focuses on 2025: New Priorities and Nessus Price Increase

Tenable Focuses on 2025: New Priorities and Nessus Price Increase

Tenable has announced its key focus areas for 2025, which include Tenable One, Tenable Cloud Security, and the newly launched Patch Management from December. The company continues to enhance its cybersecurity management solutions, offering customers more comprehensive security tools.

Nessus Price Increase in March Tenable has announced that the list price of Nessus will increase by $400 on March 3, 2025. Customers are encouraged to take advantage of the current pricing before the increase takes effect.

Customers can also benefit from multi-year discounts when purchasing Nessus licenses:

  • 2 years: 2.5% discount
  • 3 years: 5.0% discount
  • 4 years: 7.5% discount
  • 5 years: 10.0% discount

These discounts require the license to be purchased and paid for multiple years upfront.

Lumin Now Available Only Through Tenable One
The cybersecurity management tool Lumin, one of Tenable’s most widely used products, will now be available exclusively through Tenable One. This includes access to Lumin Exposure View (LEV), which provides a more detailed departmental or function-specific view with customizable metrics.

The transition to Tenable One has a minimal price impact, as the Tenable One license is approximately the same price as purchasing Tenable Vulnerability Management and Lumin together. However, it is important to note that the minimum license quantity for Tenable One is 300 licenses.

This change will also affect existing customers starting in Q2/2025. From that point onward, all commercial modifications (such as expansions and renewals) will require Lumin environments to transition to Tenable One.

Tenable advises customers to review these changes and take advantage of the current pricing before the March price increase.

LogMeIn Revives Brand for IT Product Line

January 28, 2025 - GoTo, formerly known as LogMeIn, has announced the return of the LogMeIn brand to represent its suite of IT management and support products. The decision aims to leverage the strong brand recognition and trust that "LogMeIn" continues to hold among customers and industry experts.

In 2022, the company rebranded as GoTo to unify its diverse product offerings under a single umbrella. Since then, the IT portfolio has expanded with innovations such as GoTo Resolve and the acquisition of the mobile device management solution, Miradore. Despite these developments, the LogMeIn name has remained synonymous with top-tier IT management and support tools.

Effective immediately, GoTo's IT solutions will operate under the LogMeIn banner, while its cloud communications products will continue under GoTo Connect. Consequently, GoTo Resolve has been rebranded as LogMeIn Resolve, and the MDM products are now known as LogMeIn Miradore, alongside LogMeIn Rescue, LogMeIn Central, and LogMeIn Pro.

This strategic move is accompanied by an updated brand and web experience designed to help IT teams stay ahead of today's security demands. The company emphasizes its commitment to delivering user-friendly, value-driven, secure, reliable, and innovative solutions.

By reinstating the LogMeIn name for its IT product portfolio, GoTo aims to reduce complexity and boost productivity, making it easier for teams to navigate the evolving IT landscape. The company believes that its blend of AI technology and versatile cloud-based tools positions the LogMeIn portfolio to help businesses of all sizes master their IT challenges.
