Today, a growing number of organizations are aiming to provide greater flexibility for their employees by implementing remote and hybrid work models. While this approach is an excellent way to serve the needs and expectations of modern professionals, it also has a significant impact on endpoint security.
As our tech-powered world advances at an increasingly rapid pace, an excellent cybersecurity program has become essential for every business and organization. Yet, there are a surprising number of security strategies that are missing a crucial piece: the “human firewall.”
Out of your organization’s various managed services requirements, cybersecurity is one of the most pressing. Regardless of the size or scope of your operations, everything you work for is at risk in the face of a constantly shifting and increasingly dangerous cyber landscape.
Like so many other business considerations, the type of data center that you choose requires a lot of thought. What are your organization’s exact needs? What sort of information are you storing? Who – and how many people – need access to that critical data? What are your cost-related concerns? And how secure do you need your information?
IT teams are always looking for ways to make their company’s operations run more smoothly and efficiently. Today, the cloud is part of almost every IT conversation. The numbers bear this out, with Gartner forecasting that worldwide end-user spending on public cloud services will grow a whopping 20.4 % in 2022 to $494.7 billion. Of course, “cloud” no longer means “public cloud” like it once did, so overall spending on hybrid cloud, multi-cloud, and managed cloud solutions is much higher. Check out this post by Quest’s CEO for some essential guidance on understanding these cloud deployment models.
According to one report, cyber attackers spend an average of 11 days snooping around after breaching a network before they are detected. That discovery often only comes to light because the hackers have deployed ransomware. And cybercriminals are always hunting for new ways to sneak onto your network, compromise your resources, and steal or ransom your precious data. In these cases, what you don’t know really can hurt you, as Quest’s CEO wrote about in this post about monitoring and alerting. But plenty of other IT-related issues make a case for monitoring and alerting.
