New Security Tools To Know

During the Black Hat 2023 conference this week in Las Vegas, just about every top security vendor is in attendance, and many of them have new cybersecurity tools to showcase.

Prominent cybersecurity vendors that are showcasing new or recently unveiled products at Black Hat 2023 include Palo Alto Networks, Cisco Systems, Fortinet and SentinelOne.
