Delivering business critical applications safely is a delicate balancing act. The user experience is frequently compromised as application, infrastructure, and security teams negotiate the adoption of new services. Unfortunate trade-offs are sometimes necessary to address operational needs for the sake of maintaining security, but these trade-offs can make certain use cases unfeasible or diminish their value to the organization.

In this session, we will discuss:

Revolutionizing workspaces by balancing productivity, security, availability and user experience
How quickly new technologies like the enterprise browser can be adopted to provide a competitive advantage
Strategies for reducing the effort required to deliver applications and enhance organizational operations
