AI has changed how every company works, and how every company gets attacked. Employees use AI tools IT doesn't know about. Attackers craft deepfakes, vishing calls, and spear phishing emails that get past filters. Adaptive addresses all of it in one unified platform: managing AI tool usage before it becomes a liability, training employees on the threats they'll actually face, simulating AI-powered attacks, and protecting the inbox and browser so threats never reach their intended targets. Because it's one platform, Adaptive develops a complete risk picture and uses it automatically, applying targeted training, attack simulations, and policy controls to lower risk over time. More than 1,000 organizations run Adaptive to manage their human security program, having raised $150M+ from NVIDIA, Andreessen Horowitz, Bain Capital Ventures, and Citi Ventures. 152 Ratings Visit Website Bitdefender Ultimate Small Business Security Bitdefender Small Business Security delivers enterprise-grade, layered cyber-protection designed specifically for small organizations.

About WatchGuard DNSWatch is a Cloud-based service adding DNS-level filtering to detect and block potentially dangerous connections and protect networks and employees from damaging attacks. WatchGuard analysts triage any critical alerts, following up with an easy-to-understand accounting that includes detailed insights about the potential infection. When the attack uses phishing, and an employee clicks the link, DNSWatch automatically redirects them away from the malicious site and offers resources that reinforce phishing education. Hackers rely on DNS to execute attacks on unsuspecting victims, so careful examination of DNS requests is a great way to find and ultimately intercept attacks! DNSWatch brings DNS-level filtering into our Total Security Suite, providing an added layer of security to stop malware infections. Unwitting attempts to connect to known malicious DNS addresses by your users are automatically blocked, and the user is seamlessly redirected to a safe landing page.	About AppVision provides critical technology that protects apps against hacking and malicious threats. In addition, AppVision also provides app publishers with unprecedented visibility into their worldwide installed base. See at a glance all of the most important health parameters of your installed base. Conveniently arranged graphical widgets enable you to instantly get a handle on the current status, emerging trends and specific areas of concern. Just drag, drop, enlarge or rearrange the placement of the widgets to easily create your own favorite layout. Search, filter and sort your alert log datagrid to quickly see exactly when the attack started, and to see if it is still continuing. With a single click, see the initial attack’s source IP and pinpoint its geo-location on a map. Then view the alerts by country map to see where a persistent attack is coming from. If you are using HackGuard Enterprise, you can even determine exactly who within your installed base is at risk.
