Our picks focus on AD tools that will help you complete routine AD management tasks much faster so your team has time to focus on other priorities.

The number of open source vulnerabilities discovered each year never seems to stop growing, emphasizing the importance of developers addressing them quickly and efficiently. However, simply identifying vulnerabilities is insufficient; their sheer scale makes it necessary to have an intelligent way of understanding which ones need to be fixed first to decrease the risk of a breach. For development teams in this environment, remediation prioritization and broad vulnerability coverage are critical.

In the last 90 days, the news of cyberattacks on critical infrastructure has been stunning. From the unprecedented breach represented by Sunburst to the more recent bone-chilling attack at the Oldsmar water facility, the urgency to secure critical infrastructure in transportation, utilities, energy, water, critical manufacturing, telecommunications, healthcare, government facilities and the defense sector has never been higher.
