Managing devices has never been easy and COVID-19 has made it so much harder, especially now that most organizations allow employees to work from anywhere (WFA). At the beginning of the pandemic when everyone dispersed, business continuity and remote support was paramount with IT teams scrambling to just keep business running. As we settle into the “new normal,” organizations are working on better processes to manage computers, secure the modern enterprise, and elevate end-user experience. Once they reach their desired state, they want to stay there, but new technologies and upgrades are constantly made available.

Is it possible to achieve a “desired state” accommodating for change without sacrificing security and efficiency?

Topics to be discussed:

What is “modern desired state” and is it achievable via the cloud?
What innovative technologies are enabling organizations to provide secure and desirable end-user experiences?
How are IT security leaders attaining high levels of cyber hygiene and managing the attack surface for a hybrid workforce?
