Build trust and security with hybrid cloud for healthcare

In an industry lagging in digital transformation, healthcare systems and life science enterprises are beginning to shift attitudes to cloud adoption. Ongoing concerns about security, privacy, and an overall distrust in cloud storage and processing have created barriers for healthcare professionals to realize the potential benefits of the cloud.
