What is the Modern Security Operations Maturity course about?
As organizations grow through acquisition, legacy security models fail under complexity. Point-in-time assessments, inconsistent tooling, and misaligned governance create friction in integration timelines and expose operational debt. Leaders need a repeatable model to unify security posture without sacrificing speed.
