What is the Production-Grade Network Modernization course about?

Organizations are adopting hybrid work models rapidly, but their network strategies remain fragmented, reactive, and difficult to govern at scale. This creates friction in compliance, security posture, and operational velocity, especially when responding to audit findings or expanding into new regions.
