In this special event, our panel will be discussing:
- The future of intelligent workplace transformation and its implications for both workers and businesses.
- Top concerns for IT and HR teams from the top down and how they’ve evolved.
- Maintaining security standards remotely with innovative solutions including zero-touch deployment & remote cloud recovery.
