Users will receive real-time notifications about any attempts to connect to the device, empowering them to identify and thwart potential threats promptly,” says Kay. “Having the industry’s only validated solution that addresses NIST 800-171 control (3.13.12) opens a world of opportunity for Zerify,R...
