Here at 1Password, we’re on a mission to help businesses of all sizes secure every sign-in for every app. To achieve that goal, it’s important that our solutions integrate with and elevate organizations’ existing infrastructure.

Security Operations Centers (SOCs) are under immense pressure to ensure no attack goes unnoticed. At Corelight, we’re being approached daily to help bring in network visibility.

Modern network visibility has to be easy to use and designed for maximizing SOC efficiency. For that, we built Guided Triage.

As organizations race to adopt generative AI (GenAI) to drive efficiency and innovation, they face a new and urgent security challenge. While AI-driven tools and large language models (LLMs) open vast opportunities, they also introduce unique vulnerabilities that adversaries are quick to exploit. From data exposure to supply-chain risks, the potential for threats to AI systems is growing just as fast as the technology itself.
