Though the cloud may be a key element to empowering today's work-from-anywhere workforce, there are many aspects of it that concern security professionals. Questions abound around the security implications of different cloud arrangements, such as public or private, multi or hybrid and, when those seem a bridge too far, what to keep on-premises. Once a cloud strategy has been set, critical considerations around networking and access arise, and finally, but perhaps most importantly, is the issue of enforcing end-user policies and permissions, and securing the endpoints or devices employees ultimately use. In this important webinar, we'll delve into all these issues and elicit best practices for securing your journey to the cloud.

Dissatisfaction and frustration with the applications that are supposed to make their lives easier, leading, in some cases, to burnout. In this timely webinar, we'll hear from leaders who are working hard to keep doctors and nurses up to speed on the software that will either make or break their productivity.
