Next-Gen-Windows: 3-week Advisory Workshop

Enterprises are in need to build a more resilient, dynamic, and intelligent workplace based on zero-trust architecture to address the evolving need for an elastic workforce by implementing modern working principles. In modern work, clients need the modern endpoint to make employees more productive, create device fluidity, and at the same time deliver enterprise-grade security.
