🇦🇺 Live from the Australian Information Security Association (AISA) Cyber Conference in Canberra, Australia! It's been an incredible few days and we're grateful for the important, challenging work being done across the entire security industry. It's never been more important to consider the far-reaching impacts of cybersecurity, and we couldn't be prouder of the research and product innovation work our teams are doing all over the globe. Thanks to everyone we got to connect with, and cheers to our giveaway winners!
