FileMaker 2025 Part 3: Server, AI, Security, WebDirect, and more
We’re wrapping up our three-part series on the latest Claris updates with a look at the new features in FileMaker Server.
Security
The Value of Separate Development and Production Environments
Some organizations resist adopting a development / production model – have separate development and production environments – citing concerns about flexibility, speed, and necessity. While setting up and using this dual system may seem daunting, the benefits far outweigh the challenges.
Address Immediate Concerns & Future-Proof with a Professional FileMaker Evaluation

FileMaker and Ransomware
With the recent highly publicized attacks on Colonial Pipeline and JBS, we’ve had questions from some of our clients about protecting FileMaker data from ransomware attacks. While we are always careful to make it clear that we are not security professionals, we also try to do our best to answer our client’s questions, and so we have done some self-education recently as well as group discussions during our weekly developer meetings.
FileMaker Security Audit
One of our large clients brought in a security analysis firm, BlueOrane to perform a security analysis on all of their systems. BlueOrange found a number of security issues in the FileMaker solution, most of which were related to decisions made over the years to facilitate ease of administration and support of the application.
