The benefits of Electronic Medical Records (EMR) are clear and the government incentives are substantial. Yet EMR adoption is low - hampered by the high cost and complexity of the system. With this, Healthcare organizations are concerned about deploying a new system if there is a potential for compromising patient privacy. After all, real HIPAA compliance requires consistent, careful management of data. Join this session to hear more about how to easily and cost-effectively implement a powerful security system to support an Electronic Health Records implementation. Listen to a case study on how Potomac Hospital used a SonicWALL-powered security solution to protect the transmission of all their patient data while expanding their systems, improving their competitive edge –and most importantly remaining HIPAA compliant at all times.

"The US Government is forecasting that up to 20 to 40% of the US population could be infected with Swine Flu this season." -LA Times (8/25/2009). The Federal Government is encouraging organizations of any size to have a Disaster Recovery Plan to deal with potential scenarios where employees are encouraged to stay home to avoid infection. In addition to Swine Flu concerns, the upcoming winter season can also lead to weather related disruptions to organizations, especially if for organizations located in the northern parts of the country. Having a Disaster Recovery Plan can help organizations plan for the unexpected, and having an SSL VPN be a part of your Disaster Recovery Plan can definitely help organizations remain productive when an unexpected event occurs that normally would keep employees from being able to work effectively. This 30-minute webinar will discuss how SonicWALL's family of SSL VPN solutions can be an important part of a Disaster Recovery Plan.

Organizations have increasingly moved critical applications and business critical data from mainframe to servers, and now to laptops in order to meet the need for mobility in today's expanding workforce. The new extended workforce translates into unpredictable working schedules, increased risk of data loss because users miss the server base backup window – that is if the data was first saved on a networked file server. Then there is the increased risk of cyber threats, theft, accidental damage, typical hardware defects and more common of all, human errors. As a result, high data loss exposure associated with laptops and mobile devices under these circumstances are increasingly problematic for companies needing to safeguard data on these computing systems. Don’t let these conditions be a point of vulnerability in your overall data protection and disaster recovery strategy. Register for this webinar today to hear more about the significance of protecting important data that resides on unprotected systems and how SonicWALL Continuous Data Protection (CDP) solutions provide a means to automatically and transparently backing up user data in real time.

At the beginning of this 2010, the harsh winter storms raging across the US brought many businesses to their knees – including even the most prepared of organizations like the Federal Government. Workforce productivity plummeted as employees were stranded at home – preventing them from doing their mission-critical jobs. This is not just a US phenomenon. Organizations across the world continually experience business and workforce continuity challenges from many types of disruptions – including strikes, bad traffic or even Acts of God like the Icelandic Volcano eruption that closed European airspace. Join this presentation to learn how to build a robust, flexible business and workforce continuity plan that delivers secure access to the network from any location using any device. Also learn how SonicWALL’s Secure Remote Access Solutions can dramatically increase your employee productivity, driving your revenue while your competition perishes in the cold.

Today’s organizations are striving to lower their Total Cost of Ownership (TCO) while maintaining high levels of security, compliance and productivity. The challenge is how to do this with reduced budgets and smaller IT staff especially when facing with the complexity of managing security across a large number of sites. Platform consolidation and centralized management and reporting are emerging as key strategies to achieve just this. By consolidating your security and centrally managing multiple security appliances you can effectively: • Increase your IT productivity. • Lower Total Cost of Ownership (TCO). • Become more compliant to industry laws and corporate standards. • Maintain the highest level of security possible. Join this web seminar to learn more about the typical challenges of managing a distributed IT infrastructure and how the SonicWALL® Global Management System (GMS) can help you address these. We’ll review the benefits of GMS and provide you with a comprehensive solution overview.

Today, workers do their jobs from field offices and home offices, partner sites and manufacturing sites. Employees, contractors and outsourced specialists can work from anywhere in the world, at any time of day or night. As mobile computing has become more cost-effective and popularly embraced, WiFi-enabled laptops, ultraportable PDAs and 3G cellular Smartphones have overtaken the predominant business role of traditional desktops. As intended by design, mobile computing devices are routinely transported off and on site, and connected wirelessly over public and private networks. Yet the very mobility of these devices creates and expands opportunities for potential security breaches. Outside of IT control, these devices often can be damaged, lost, or lack fundamental security maintenance and updates. Join this event to learn how to implement a comprehensive mobile security policy that will support your organizational growth instead of increasing your risk.

New technology trends such as Web 2.0, Cloud Computing and Virtualization bring the promise of new business opportunities. Soaring productivity, lower total cost of ownership and improved customer relationships have driven speedy adoption of these new initiatives but mitigating risk has become an afterthought. In this web seminar SonicWALL will examine the malware, application layer control and network performance challenges surrounding these emerging technologies and how to best embrace these trends while keeping your network and business secure.
