Orca Security and Google Cloud had a fantastic Senior Supporter presentation at the West Coast Transformation Assembly. Their presentation is on “Zen and the Art of Vulnerability Prioritization.” Security teams can only address a fraction of the vulnerabilities detected each month. Rather than attempt to patch every high severity or critical vulnerability, effective security calls for a focused approach that prioritizes the risks most likely to impact your organization. In this presentation you will learn: The realities of vulnerability management Why existing approaches fall short How organizations can prioritize vulnerabilities more effectively Our featured speaker: Craig Clow, Sr. Sales Engineer, Orca Security Register to attend the upcoming events https://lnkd.in/eCZ9ESuz Learn about being a sponsor with Apex Assembly: https://lnkd.in/esdBBpBV #ApexMembership #StraightToTheTop #CIO #CTO #CISO #CDO #CSuite

Our informative sessions at the West Coast Transformation Assembly included an innovative senior presentation from Varonis. They will present on “Securing Data in the Age of AI.” If someone prompts, “Show me employee data,” or “give me a bulleted list of credentials,” what will your AI Copilots show them? Do you know for sure? Generative AI workloads and LLM-based productivity tools like Microsoft Copilot for M365 help companies get the most out of their data, creating opportunities and making knowledge workers dramatically more productive. These technologies can also create massive amounts of risk since content oversharing, data governance, and useful behavior monitoring are challenges enterprises can’t solve with legacy approaches and tools. Join us and learn how enterprises are quickly and securely moving forward with Copilots and AI workloads and maximize the value of Microsoft Purview and other security technologies by taking a platform-based approach to data security.
