Описание: Welcome to Outlier Briefings. Cogent CEO Vineet Edupuganti joins Rak Garg, Partner at Bain Capital Ventures, to explain why traditional vulnerability management is breaking and what comes next for autonomous security.

As attackers scale with AI, this video explores how Cogent is creating the next generation of security infrastructure to shift from manual, reactive workflows to always-on, autonomous defense.
