Introducing Cortex Cloud 2.2: Defend Against Frontier AI Threats

Introducing Cortex Cloud 2.2: Defend Against Frontier AI Threats

As Frontier AI accelerates software development and enables attackers to discover vulnerabilities, chain exploits, and compromise environments faster than ever, traditional cloud security approaches can no longer keep pace. Fragmented tools leave critical blind spots between code, cloud, identities, and data, making it harder for security teams to identify and stop the risks that matter most.
