They discuss that milestone and reflect on CyberArk’s growth to becoming the global leader in identity security and the ever-evolving threat landscape – and how the company has scaled to meet it. Udi shares his insights on the company’s culture, values, philosophies and lessons he has learned.

Critical infrastructure services in North America face accelerating threats from both nation-states and other sophisticated threat actors. Governments globally are grappling with how to best balance incentives, support, and direct oversight. Meanwhile, critical infrastructure owners and operators face significant challenges with technology, staff resources, and expertise to better manage cyber resilience.

Empowering Citizen Developers: Using Zenity’s Tools in AI-Driven Development The ability to develop applications, automations, and bots without the need for custom coding, has resulted in a paradigm shift for cybersecurity. Now, more than ever, citizen developers can design and implement solutions without the need for a traditional coding background. Due to innovative tools and platforms, as well as the integration of AI, development is now faster, more accessible, and more efficient.
