Quotes from Greg Ellis:

"We've actually heard of some customers that inadvertently release a non protected application out in the wild. And so you really want to make sure that you've got those tools in place to catch that. But then once the applications themselves are deployed, it's just as important to ensure that those apps are monitored for active attacks and collecting thread analytics and then responding in real time via runtime application self protected and feeding those insights into the next. Devsecop cycle."

"So that human aspect still needs to be in there. And Ai isn't going to necessarily be the end all and be all, but it's there really to augment the work that we're doing and try to reduce our workload. And that combination of Ai technologies and human intelligence really creates a more robust defense against security incidents and vulnerabilities in these mobile app environments."
