"We don’t have a tools problem in cybersecurity anymore. We have an effectiveness problem."

In this episode of the Zero Trust Journey, Dr. Victor Monga sits down with Snehal Antani, CEO and Co-Founder of Horizon3.ai and former CTO at the US Department of Defense. Snehal reveals the shocking data gathered from over 200,000 autonomous pen tests: why enterprises spend $18 billion on endpoint security yet continue to see breaches rise.
