A strategy built with a focus on agility, security, and resiliency for a hybrid cloud world. The goal is a modern operations environment that is future-ready, drives better outcomes, and enables the business to grow – no matter what disruption comes next.
Join Evolving Solutions for our annual Technology Update on Monday, July 18. In the morning, we will bring together technology leaders to discuss modern operations in a (disruptive) hybrid cloud world. Then connect with us as we transition to an afternoon of golf and networking.

Evolving Solutions & Zscaler Zero Trust Webinar
2023-04-26 13:30 - 14:15
Zero Trust is based on the principle that no entity – user, device, or application – should be inherently trusted.
Instead, access is granted using identity and business policy, and it changes based on context. By removing access and security from the constructs of the network, zero trust reduces complexity and increases security. No wonder 75 percent of organizations today are investing in a zero trust strategy.
Join us from the comfort of your desktop and discover how the Zscaler Zero Trust Exchange can help you execute a zero trust strategy for your hybrid, mobile workforce that can:
Reduce cost and complexity – Simple to manage and deploy without the need for VPNs or complex firewall rules
Deliver a great user experience – Intelligently manages and optimizes direct connections to cloud applications
Eliminate the internet attack surface – Applications sit behind the exchange, preventing discovery and targeted attacks
Prevent the lateral movement of threats – Connects users to apps directly, without network access, to isolate threats Evolving Solutions & Zscaler Zero Trust Webinar
