It’s one thing to have a data breach happen; it’s another to inform the public months after the fact. That’s what Okta did and why Amit Yoran, Tenable’s chairman and CEO, called out the company. You’ll find his choice words featured in this week’s roundup.

Kira Makagon, chief innovation officer, RingCentral, made waves when she rolled out a new AI-generated product that provides a highlight reel of important segments of company meetings. Never miss an office gathering again.
