April Security Challenge

| |

Many organisations are suddenly having to massively expand their remote working footprint.

The April Security Challenge is a call to mid-sized cybersecurity solution vendors that can help people suddenly faced with standing up remote working regain control of their environments. To take part, each vendor needs to put forward a tool they ordinarily charge for, for free, for the rest of April.
