Generative AI (GenAI) is a top priority for organizations looking to increase productivity and solve business problems faster.

For small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs), staying abreast of cybersecurity developments is critical — not just to growth, but to the company’s bottom line. But security evolves quickly, and it can be hard to keep up. In the midst of this fast-evolving security environment, AI has made a bold entrance.
