Mitiga stands out because it equips teams with the tools to manage the escalating cloud threat landscape efficiently, avoiding the pitfalls of traditional methods that are not designed for the scale and nature of cloud environments. I’m excited to help drive the evolution of cloud security, providing clear, effective solutions for detecting, investigating, and responding to these growing threats.”
