Elastic Security integration with Google Distributed Cloud: Closing the velocity gap in air-gapped environments

In part one of this NIS2 series, we examined why vendor questionnaires fall short and how third-party breaches impact downstream organizations across Europe. But what happens after a supplier containment phase ends?
