We have recently taken our Define Tomorrow events on tour around the South of the UK, presenting the top It trends we have seen within 2017 so far. We understand that not everyone can make it to these events due to other commitments, however we wanted to bring the event to you online. Below are copies of the presentations from our latest event in Oxford at Williams F1 Conference Centre.

Following on from Barry, we also heard from Liam Puleo, Solutions Architecture at BitDefender discuss how cyber security has matured, grown and changed over the years and the new ways that cyber criminals are making their millions. Liam also presented the Bitdefender solutions to help businesses should they be attacked, but also the solutions Bitdefender offer to mitigate the risk of you experiencing a cyber attack.

Workspace Transformation
With the ability for users to bring their own device, work collaboratively online and from any location on any device, on paper the implementation of a workspace transformation solution should tick all the boxes for your business, making you business more efficient, however in reality this can cause many issues for the IT because you may not know what applications or devices your users are using, where they are storing it or who they are sharing it with but ultimately the responsibility of all this data is yours. Barry discusses solutions that can make the job for the IT team easier and more controlled.
