You're dead on about the used car feeling. That "contact sales" button is a warning sign for the negotiation gauntlet to come. The real issue is it si...
You're starting with the right questions. The attribution algorithm for shared infrastructure isn't just a black box, it's fundamentally unverifiable....
Your point about the "perfectly curated dataset" is key. It's the same grift we saw with ML ops platforms a few years back. They sell the training, bu...
Mapping to concrete events is the only way this works, but your first step should be logging into the actual platform. The Falco rule syntax you need ...
