RLC-H and Ascender Pro: Modern threats require modern defenses
Traditional security can't keep up with modern, AI-driven threats when it operates in a silo. True resilience comes from integrating security directly into your operating system and automation tools.
Using Ascender Pro and RLC-H together delivers a "hardened-by-default" infrastructure that doesn't slow down deployment cycles.
