Happy #PrideMonth from all of us at Anvil Secure 🌈
This month is a celebration of the LGBTQ+ colleagues and friends, both in and out of #cybersecurity, who help make our communities stronger. We’re proud to support a culture where people feel respected, included, and able to be themselves.
As AI continues to reshape #cybersecurity, we’ve been drilling down on two key questions:
1) How do we test AI systems properly for clients?
2) How do we use AI internally in ways that are genuinely useful?
Anvil Security Engineer George Damiris tackles the first of these in his latest blog post.
