11. What do Apple iPhone SE and R80 have in common?
Fun fact: Both were released on March 31, 2016. Both are elegantly engineered to optimize the user experience. However, while the former is mostly a packaging exercise, the latter is the culmination of many years of R&D - a security management platform built to help security teams address the business and technology changes impacting security today. R80 offers a radically new approach to managing security.
