Bradford Networks™, the leading provider of rapid threat response solutions, will host a webinar titled "Windows XP End-of-Life: 5 Steps to Keeping Your Network Safe from Vulnerable Endpoints" on Tuesday, April 29th. The webinar will present five steps to effectively manage and accelerate the transition from Windows XP, and provide best practices for protecting your organization from these increasingly vulnerable endpoints.
