StepSecurity Is Now Available on Azure Marketplace
The StepSecurity App is now available on Azure Marketplace—simplifying procurement, deployment, and CI/CD security in one place.
Even DirectX 9’s final game releases (e.g., FIFA 15 in 2014, Rocksmith 2014 still updated in 2025) mean it has outlived Vista, Windows 7, 8, 8.1, and now 10/11. Downloading DirectX 9 for Windows 10 64-bit is not a sign of an outdated system – it’s a bridge to decades of software history. Microsoft wisely kept it available, and until the last DX9-only game stops running (likely after 2030), the search will continue.
Use the official Microsoft DirectX End-User Runtime installer. Avoid sketchy websites. And enjoy your legacy games – running perfectly on modern hardware.

Security researchers have uncovered severe unauthenticated remote code execution vulnerabilities in React Server Components and Next.js App Router that achieve near 100% exploitation success rates. With 39% of cloud environments running vulnerable versions and 44% having publicly exposed Next.js instances, immediate patching is critical. Organizations should upgrade to patched versions and use StepSecurity's npm package search and Threat Center to identify and monitor affected dependencies.
