Always Audit Ready: Streamlining SOC 2 & ISO Compliance with Cortex

Stop dreading your next audit. If you’ve ever survived a SOC 2, ISO, or regulatory audit, you know the drill: weeks of manual data pulling, hunting for owners, and frantic spreadsheet updates. In this video, we show you how Cortex transforms compliance from a painful annual event into a continuous, automated process. What we cover: The "Audit Scramble" vs. "Always Ready": Why manual snapshots fail and how a living service landscape keeps you compliant 365 days a year.

Is Your Org Ready for Peak Season? How to Automate Production Readiness with Cortex

Stop relying on hope as a production readiness strategy. Whether it’s Black Friday, tax season, or a major product launch, engineering leaders need to know—with 100% certainty—if their systems can handle the load. In this video, Becka demonstrates how Cortex replaces manual, time-consuming readiness reviews with a continuous, automated framework. What we cover: The Readiness Gap: Why manual self-reporting and static spreadsheets fail during high-traffic periods.

Bridging the gap between mobile networks and the cloud

When it comes to IoT connectivity, it’s no longer enough for Mobile Network Operators (MNOs) and Mobile Service Providers (MSPs) to provide coverage, capacity and SIM cards. As enterprises accelerate their digital transformation, the focus has shifted from basic connectivity to seamless, secure and scalable device-to-cloud integration.

ACME Renewal Information (ARI) solves mass certificate revocation

In July 2024, DigiCert discovered they’d been issuing certificates with improper domain validation for five years. They gave customers 24 hours to replace 83,000 certificates. CISA issued an emergency alert. Critical infrastructure operators couldn’t meet the deadline. Some customers sued. That’s what mass revocation looks like in practice. The CA finds a compliance problem, the clock starts, and everyone scrambles. ACME Renewal Information (ARI) is the fix.
