The Bots Have Arrived

A quick scan of the headlines this month show lots of chatter about ‘what’s next’ for those of us in security and identity as 2019 quickly approaches. That chatter has certainly picked up the pace from the show floor and in and around various sessions this week at the Gartner […]
