As healthcare organizations consume more cloud services, many are operating in a hybrid model where users access a combination of cloud and on-premises systems. In addition, users are accessing these systems across a wider range of devices from both on-site and remote locations. Together, these add significant complexity for IT managers and end users and create additional risk for organizations. This webcast, presented by PhoneFactor and Ping Identity, will feature tips for simplifying and securing access to sensitive data and applications across a diverse set of access scenarios.
