Developed in cooperation with Intel, this self-paced digital training consists of four modules that introduce the fundamentals of cloud computing under HCLS compliance regimes such as HIPAA, GxP, and international data privacy requirements. The course allows you to test new skills and apply knowledge to your working environment through a variety of practical exercises.
