(NASDAQ: RPD), a leader in cloud risk and threat detection, today announced the general availability of Executive Risk View, a first-of-its-kind solution that normalizes risk scoring across cloud and on-premises environments so that security leaders can effectively assess and collaborate with teams across an organization to speed up cyber risk reduction.
