Productivity Unleashed: Rise Above with Modern Devices

According to research conducted by the Ponemon Institute, the average cost of a data breach reached an all-time high in 2023 of $4.45 million dollars. While it is common to focus on the negative financial losses and productivity outcomes of a data breach or security incident, the same amount of attention (if not more) should be paid to how security incidents can have substantial impact on the humans who are dependent on these systems.  Understanding how specific incidents occurred, potential impact, and what organizations did to remediate is critical. Our guests, including seasoned cybersecurity professionals will discuss the tactics, techniques, and procedures (TTPs) used by cybercriminals in real-world scenarios. We'll uncover the vulnerabilities that were exploited, the tools used, downstream impacts, and what strategies organizations can implement to defend against such threats.

Anatomy of a Cyber Attack

Organizations are constantly asked to increase employee productivity while managing tighter budgets and fewer resources. In this veritable pressure cooker, inadequate or outdated devices can hinder performance, leading to frustration, decreased job satisfaction, vulnerability to cyber-attacks, and compatibility issues that undo said productivity. 
So, how can IT and business decision-makers resolve these challenges and minimize device complexity? 
Hear from our two experts—Microsoft’s Rob McGilvrey, Americas Specialist of Windows Pro & Modern Endpoints, and Intel’s Traci Taylor, Enterprise Client Technical Specialist cover a multitude of topics including:
• AI-powered Multitasking: Copilot in Windows optimizes workflows, helping teams achieve more with fewer resources.
• Efficient Deployment: 25% faster deployment for IT teams
• Breakthrough Productivity: Intelligent assistance saves time, uncovers insights, and speeds up innovation.

Save your seat at this session to discover how undertaking a Windows 11 Pro device refresh with Intel Core Ultra Processors addressing these concerns.

Boosting Productivity with AI: Insights from Experts with Real-world Experience

Effective communication lies at the heart of patient-centered care. In this webinar, Connection and Samsung tackle the challenges faced by hospitals and healthcare organizations. We’ll explore innovative solutions that bridge gaps—between patients and staff, between technology and healing.
1. The Digital Front Door: Patients expect hotel-like amenities in hospital rooms. But how does Samsung translate the digital front door experience to the patient’s actual room? Smart door signs provide real-time updates, staff profiles, and clinical communication, enhancing patient perception.
2. Samsung Healthcare TV’s: Beyond entertainment, these TVs revolutionize in-room clinical communication. Customized education, real-time surveys, and a digital concierge benefit patients. But they also empower clinicians, reducing nurse call fatigue and involving support departments efficiently.
3. Extending the Care Team: Clinician burnout is real, exacerbated by staffing shortages. Samsung leverages Healthcare TVs to extend the care team’s reach. Virtual rounding, tele-sitting, and quiet patient rooms—all contribute to better outcomes.
4. Digital Whiteboards: Say goodbye to old-school dry erase boards. Samsung’s digital whiteboards display medication schedules, discharge details, and care team roles. The benefits? Ripple effects across patients, families, and the entire healthcare ecosystem.
Join us as we unlock the potential of smart rooms, making care smarter, more efficient, and ultimately, more compassionate.
