    Overall well please with Cortex Cloud in regards to the code scanning capabilities and SBOM generation. It's provided the capability of being a single pane of glass for auditing CI/CD pushes, secret scanning, full repo inventorying, and allowed us to start working to establish policy enforcement around the code commits and code scanning in the repos.
