    Introducing feature previews!

    For years, new Qlik Cloud capabilities have arrived the same way: finished. That sounds good until you notice what it means. We only hear what the broader user base thinks once something is generally available, which is the exact moment when changing it is most expensive.

    From Analytics to AI: Building Skills for the Future

    The skills students need for the workplace are changing quickly. Analytics is still a core part of that, but it is no longer the whole picture. Today, students are also being introduced to AI, predictive analytics, machine learning, and new ways of interacting with data. For educators, that means thinking not only about what students need to learn now, but also about how to prepare them for technologies that will continue to evolve.

    Same As It Never Was: Why MCP Is Creating a New Audience for Your Real-Time Data

    Talking Heads sang "Once in a Lifetime" in 1980. Its central image - water flowing underground, endlessly, whether anyone's watching or not - was about sleepwalking through your own life while forces beneath the surface keep moving without you.

    Talking Heads sang "Once in a Lifetime" in 1980. Its central image - water flowing underground, endlessly, whether anyone's watching or not - was about sleepwalking through your own life while forces beneath the surface keep moving without you. It's also, unintentionally, a fair description of how enterprise data behaves: constantly flowing beneath the business, mostly unseen, doing its job whether a human ever looks at it or not. What's different isn't the flow. It's who's drinking from it. Qlik, SAP, and a cluster of vendors at API World have all recently opened the tap to a new consumer - AI agents -via a shared standard called MCP (Model Context Protocol). Same water. Different drinker.

    ODBC Connector for Qlik Sense Enterprise on Windows: Upcoming End of Support for...

    Effective in the Qlik Sense Enterprise on Windows November 2026 release, and in the latest patches for May 2025, November 2025, and May 2026, the ODBC connector used by Qlik Sense Enterprise on Windows will no longer support connections secured with TLS 1.0 or TLS 1.1. To maintain uninterrupted connectivity, customers should upgrade their environments to use TLS 1.2 or higher ahead of applying these releases or patches. Refer to the release notes... Show More

    Effective in the Qlik Sense Enterprise on Windows November 2026 release, and in the latest patches for May 2025, November 2025, and May 2026, the ODBC connector used by Qlik Sense Enterprise on Windows will no longer support connections secured with TLS 1.0 or TLS 1.1. To maintain uninterrupted connectivity, customers should upgrade their environments to use TLS 1.2 or higher ahead of applying these releases or patches.

    Refer to the release notes upon release of the affected versions for details.

     

    Why is this happening?

    TLS 1.0 and TLS 1.1 are legacy encryption protocols that are no longer considered secure and have been deprecated across the industry for several years. Removing support for these older protocols in the ODBC connector aligns Qlik's connectivity stack with current security standards and reduces exposure to known vulnerabilities in outdated TLS implementations.

     

    Who is affected?

    This change affects the ODBC connector in Qlik Sense Enterprise on Windows only. At this point, Qlik Sense Desktop and QlikView are not affected by this change.

    Any data source connection made through the ODBC connector in Qlik Sense Enterprise on Windows that relies on TLS 1.0 or TLS 1.1 will be affected once support is removed, regardless of whether the TLS version is enforced by the data source itself, a network intermediary, or the client driver configuration.

     

    What does this mean for me?

    If your data source, ODBC driver, or the underlying operating system is currently configured to negotiate connections using only TLS 1.0 or TLS 1.1, those connections will fail once you move to a version of Qlik Sense Enterprise on Windows that removes TLS 1.0 or TLS 1.1 support.

    Reload tasks, extensions, and any other workflows using affected ODBC connections will no longer be able to connect to the data source.

     

    What should I do?

    Review and upgrade your environment so that all ODBC connections negotiate TLS 1.2 or greater before you upgrade Qlik Sense Enterprise on Windows. 


    Questions?

    If you have questions or need assistance planning your upgrade, our forums are open to you, and Support is only a chat away.

    Qlik Automate's ServiceNow connector is moving from username and password authentication to OAuth 2.0. This change aligns with security best practices and ServiceNow's own recommendations for third-party integrations, eliminating the need to store credentials in plain text and providing more granular, revocable access control.

     

    When will this change be made?

    The change will go into effect on the 23rd of June, 2026.

     

    What action do I need to take?

    Existing connections that use username and password authentication will need to be re-authenticated using OAuth 2.0. Complete the re-authentication steps as outlined in this blog post on the 23rd of June to prevent possible service interruptions. 

     

    How do I switch my ServiceNow connection to OAuth 2.0?

    ServiceNow provides guidance on each stage of the OAuth 2.0 setup. See the following for details:

     

    To migrate your Qlik Automate connector, first prepare ServiceNow by configuring OAuth 2.0, then re-authenticate Qlik Automate on the 23rd of June.

    Before you begin, make sure you have Admin access to your ServiceNow instance and Admin or Owner access to your Qlik Cloud tenant and the relevant Qlik Automate automation.

    1. Open the Application Manager in ServiceNow:
      The OAuth 2.0 plugin must be available in your ServiceNow instance.
      1. Log in to your ServiceNow instance.
      2. Click the All button in the top-left navigation bar and search for Application Manager.
      3. Select Application Manager from the results under Admin Center.
    2. In the Application Manager, use the Search your licensed applications and plugins field to search for OAuth. The ServiceNow products OAuth tile will appear in the results.
    3. Click the OAuth tile to expand it, then install the OAuth 2.0 plugin (Plugin ID: com.snc.platform.security.oauth). Wait for the installation to complete before proceeding.
    4. Navigate to Inbound Integrations:
      1. Click the All button again and search for Inbound Integrations.
      2. Select it from under System OAuth in the results.
    5. Create a new OAuth application endpoint:
      1. Click the New Integration button on the right.
      2. On the connection type screen, select OAuth – Authorization code grant.
      3. Configure the application by providing a Name, the Redirect URL, and the required scopes.
        When prompted for a Redirect URL, use the callback URL provided by Qlik Automate during the connection setup. This URL must exactly match what is registered in ServiceNow.
      4. Save the Client ID and Client Secret; they are required for the next step. 
      5. Click Save.
    6. Re-authenticate the connector in Qlik Automate
      This step can only be carried out after the change on the 23rd of June, 2026.
      1. In Qlik Automate, add a new ServiceNow connection.
      2. Enter your ServiceNow instance domain (format: https://[domain].service-now.com/).
      3. Provide the Client ID and Client Secret previously recorded.
      4. Follow the on-screen authentication flow to complete the OAuth authorisation.

     

    If you encounter issues during the migration, please contact Qlik Support or visit the Qlik Community for assistance. When raising a support case, include your ServiceNow instance domain and the error message you are seeing.

    Fast Mode

    Qlik Answers Fast mode delivers quick, concise responses to simple questions using your structured data. It is ideal for questions that can be answered directly, without deep analysis. For complex questions that require more analysis, use Thinking mode. And don’t worry, if you ask a question in Fast mode that requires more analysis, Qlik Answers will recommend that you switch to Thinking mode. Fast mode and Thinking mode can be used interchangeably in a single conversation.

    fast mode.png

    You can learn more about Fast mode here:

     

    Download Conversations as PDF

    Now, you can download your Qlik conversations for future reference or to share with others. There are two ways you can do this. You can download a chat once Answers has responded to your question. The download button will appear as shown below. When you click it, a PDF of the Qlik Answers chat will be downloaded. The download feature is available for chats created after this feature’s release.

    download.png

    Qlik Answers chats can also be downloaded from the Feedback tab in an assistant, but this requires the audit admin role. To view chats, open an assistant and go to the Feedback tab. Click on the three ellipses at the end of a row and select View answer details. From here, you can review and download the chat.

    feedback.png

    Fast mode and chat downloads are both live in Qlik Answers today, and they're built to make your workflow quicker and your insights easier to share. Ask a question in Fast mode next time you need a quick answer and download a chat any time you want to keep a record or bring a colleague up to speed.

    Thanks,

    Edit August 5, 19:10 UTC: Impact section updated.
    Edit August 6, 06:11 UTC: Formatting changes only.
    Edit August 6, 06:35 UTC: Investigation concluded, removed banner.

    Certain open source packages released by Qlik® have been impacted by an ongoing, industry-wide npm supply chain compromise ("Shai-Hulud") affecting keyv, cacheable, and related packages. As of this writing, the campaign has affected many organizations beyond Qlik, including over 440 unique packages and 2,200+ package versions across the npm ecosystem. A Qlik npm publishing credential was harvested from an internal build system after it installed a package with a poisoned transitive dependency, and was used to publish unauthorized, malicious versions of several Qlik-owned open source packages to the public npm registry. This appears to be a consequence of the broader worm's automated spread across the npm ecosystem, rather than a targeted attack on Qlik. The investigation into full scope and impact remains active, and Qlik has taken active steps to mitigate the impact. 

    Impact

    • We have confirmed that no Qlik products, including Qlik Cloud, Talend Cloud, and our client-managed offerings, were impacted.

    • No compromised code was released into any Qlik product.
    • 31 packages in the @qlik npm scope had malicious versions published to the registry, all published and detected within the same 10:46 to 10:53 UTC window on August 4, 2026:

    What Qlik has done

    • Revoked the compromised npm publishing credential and disabled automated publishing pipelines (GitHub Actions), including across the qlik-oss organization 
    • Confirmed that npm removed the malicious versions from the public registry; purging internal mirrors/caches 
    • Added precautionary blocks on our cloud firewalls 
    • Rotating exposed secrets and keys, in a controlled sequence, after confirming affected hosts are clean 
    • Completed indicator-of-compromise sweeps across related GitHub organizations; no indicators of persistence found 
    • Continuing a full investigation across our repositories and build infrastructure 

    What you should do

    If you installed any of the affected package versions listed above: 

    • Treat any npm, GitHub, or cloud credentials present in that environment as potentially compromised 
    • Scan for compromise before rotating credentials; do not rotate first 
    • Reinstall using npm install --ignore-scripts once a clean version is confirmed available
