Computers aren't always right. They make mistakes, encounter errors, and crash. Sometimes the

errors can be frustrating. Especially when the computer is at a big company, and it

exploitable security exposures like vulnerabilities, weak passwords, overly permissive identities,

and misconfigurations in their infrastructure and active directory. But most organizations

in one fix for ultra-efficient risk remediation. With the XM Cyber Continuous Exposure Management

Platform, teams can see how exposures combine, enabling attacks to reach critical assets,

I'll go find it and skip school. I was like the devil. Eventually she could

take a hammer and smash the shit out of the Nintendo. That was my first computer. I got
