# Identity Mesh — July 15, 2026

**Release Date**: July 15, 2026

**Release Type**: Improvement

## Overview

This release adds an exclude-style filter operator to the asset list, making
compliance queries such as "all PQC-compliant assets" expressible for the
first time. The release also includes reliability and performance
improvements.

## Improvements

### Filter assets by what they are not

Advanced Filters on the asset list now support a **not in** operator for the
**Risk Tags** and **Top Risk Reasons** fields. A *not in* filter matches
assets that carry **none** of the selected values — a true exclusion.

**Why it matters:** some of the most useful compliance views are defined by
absence. For example, "PQC-compliant assets" means assets with no unresolved
post-quantum cryptography risk. Previously the closest available filter
matched assets that had *at least one other* risk, so an asset carrying both a
PQC risk and an unrelated risk could wrongly appear in the results. With
**not in**, that asset is correctly excluded.

**How it works:**

- In **Advanced Filters**, choose the **Risk Tags** or **Top Risk Reasons**
  field and select the **not in** operator, then pick one or more values.
- The active filter chip reads, for example, "Risk Tags not in (selected
  values)."
- Multiple values are supported; selecting no values leaves results
  unchanged.
- The operator appears only on fields that support it.
