I love webinars with @CharlesTBetz. He has tremendous experience, and he is always so insightful. And the title is fitting. The strategies we will discuss differ greatly from the standard approach to derisking configuration in the hybrid cloud. https://t.co/QXvS776sMU

Everyone knows what unauthorized changes are and the risk of making such changes. Most enterprises, particularly the regulated ones, have already implemented controls to prevent unauthorized activities. Some of them still run a pro…https://t.co/S89PXcS4hi https://t.co/v4Vad08arT
