• Webcast: How to Manage Endpoints in a Distributed, Cloud-based Environment
  
  In this session, we’ll review the many benefits of cloud computing and cloud-based security services such as: cost reduction; risk transference; speedier remediation than legacy approaches; and a more simple infrastructure.
