Sorry for the last minute on this. In about two hours, I'm on deck with IpSwitch and HIMSS to talk about HIPAA Compliance regulations and their relation to file security. In this presentation, we'll dig deep into the actual compliance regulations and deconstruct them in relation to how you should protect your file-based data in transit and at rest.

Join us in about two hours to hear all about it. The registration link is at the bottom of this post.
