But, has GenAI been an ally and earned its place in the enterprise? Cato’s Chief Security Strategist, Etay Maor, shares why security controls and SASE help us safely coexist with our new GenAI friends. Read the Forbes article.
• Not in Europe? You May Still Be Impacted by NIS 2.

Even non-European companies serving EU states or digitally catering to EU citizens could be impacted. Penalties are steep for non-compliance by the deadline of October 17, 2024. Our webinar will help you understand if you need to take action and what to do.?
