Lunch & Learn Recap: Cybersecurity

Ongoing professional development is fundamental to our culture at RedCloud - benefiting our consultants as they are exposed to the latest trends and technologies, as well as our clients, as there can be potential for cross-project enhancements. The more knowledgeable our entire team is about other capabilities at RedCloud, the more we can help our clients solve their biggest challenges. 

To that end, recently, the RedCloud team came together for a Lunch and Learn session held in our Bellevue, Washington headquarters and online, focused on cybersecurity. With increasing threats to organizations, our Security Account Director, Lou Hazim, shared insights on how RedCloud helps businesses safeguard their data and ensure compliance with industry regulations.
