A look inside the first ever HIPAA compliant email conference

A look inside the first ever HIPAA compliant email conference

I crafted my keynote speech around trends we saw in 2016, Ransomware behavior in 2017, and a trend forecast for 2018.

 


 
  • We held our inaugural user conference in San Francisco yesterday.
  • It was the first ever HIPAA Compliant Email user conference.
  • Guests and speakers flew in from North Carolina, Oregon, Florida and Hawaii to be a part of it.
 

Yesterday's Paubox SECURE Conference was a resounding success. The venue afforded majestic views of Alcatraz Island, the Golden Gate Bridge and Sausalito. It was an auspicious day for us. Here are my pics and commentary. Enjoy!
