Register now for the Sally AI Masterclass on April 8 at 2 PM ET!

Cybersecurity challenges in government and critical infrastructure are no longer isolated to one tool, one report or one team. They are systemic, interconnected and increasingly scrutinized by leadership, auditors, insurers and the public.

This masterclass demonstrates how Sally fixes and addresses the real cybersecurity problems faced by small, medium and large government agencies — end-to-end, across the full defense-in-depth stack.

This webinar is brought to you by @_CyberAlliance in collaboration with NLC.

@CapitalOne @AskCapitalOne why aren't you providing regular updates to your customers?? Especially the ones still impacted by this "error" four days later! This is unacceptable & extremely poor customer service to say the least. Absolutely no one should have to deal with this.

I’ve been a @CapitalOne customer for years and never had any problems with them, but the way they handled this situation, they lost me as a customer. I’m done #CapitalOneDown

[Carmel Jones @carmel_jones1]

@AskCapitalOne When will you be sending more information on this matter @CapitalOne? The last email was sent yesterday. Since then, nothing has been directly communicated to make anyone believe this matter will be resolved today as the email stated.
