AI Security in Practice

The future isn't just about adopting AI—it’s about securing it. This quarter, we show you how the world’s most sophisticated organizations are leveraging the AI security platform built on zero trust to embrace AI safely, without compromising data integrity.

Uber joined us earlier this year for the AI Security launch to discuss the critical role of Red Teaming and how to operationalize AI Security.

Zuora, Siemens and BioIVT share their thoughts on GenAI, AI attacks, and protecting what firewalls can't.

KPMG sat down with Jay to discuss AI Security. Note: This asset is for internal enablement only and is not for external distribution.

Simplified infrastructure and a real-time, dynamic asset inventory support rapid, secure growth and superior patient outcomes

Zuora, a world-leading SaaS monetization platform, helps companies increase revenue and improve subscription management. The cloud-first company knew it was time to shift away from its costly and complex castle-and-moat architecture with multiple point products.
