Or Eshed, Co-Founder and CEO of LayerX Security, joins Alan Shimel on TechStrong TV to unpack what the deal means for enterprise workforce security and how the combined platform will let global organizations adopt AI without trading off productivity or availability.

He explains the three degrees of AI usage — direct, embedded, and workflow-native — why CASB and SaaS-security paradigms break down on opinionated AI users, and why the browser has become the most critical and overlooked security layer in modern work.
