By fostering improved collaboration among security, IT, and development teams, TotalCloud 2.0 aims to efficiently mitigate risk and protect business-critical applications.
Metomic presented a new integration for ChatGPT that identifies critical risks in ChatGPT conversations. This integration sits within the browser itself, scanning data being uploaded in real-time to identify and alert security teams if employees are uploading sensitive data such as customer PII, security credentials, and intellectual property. The browser extension comes equipped with 150 pre-built data classifiers to recognize common critical data risks.
Cisco’s Motific, born from Outshift, aims to reduce security, trust, and compliance risks associated with GenAI. The platform provides a central view across the entire GenAI journey, empowering central IT and security teams to deliver trustworthy GenAI capabilities with control over sensitive data, security, responsible AI, and cost.
