Can a lesser-known model compete with the likes of OpenAI, Google, and Anthropic? In this video, we put Z.ai’s GLM 4.7 to the ultimate test.

What matters first: ⇢ What assets actually exist⇢ How controls are deployed and configured⇢ What the live posture looks like, not last month’s report With that context in place, vulnerabilities stop being noise and start becoming decisions. Garrett also makes a critical point near the end: many security tools are excellent at producing findings, but far less effective at helping teams resolve them.
