What is the Enterprise-Class Security Vendor course about?
Teams in high-velocity environments are caught between the need for robust protection and the demand for rapid iteration. Too many point solutions lead to integration debt, alert fatigue, and misaligned incentives across security, engineering, and product. The result is friction, not resilience.
