Wi-Fi Gets an Upgrade

Long-awaited protocol updates boost security and simplify IoT connections.

When the first Wi-Fi protocol was released in 1997, it set the stage for a remarkable shift in the way people work and the devices they use for computing and communication. Wi-Fi now moves more than half of all Internet traffic, and it has helped make mobile the primary digital platform for business users in the U.S.

However, this shift has also introduced some risk.

Full Speed Ahead

Ultra-fast 5G networks will create many business benefits through increased wireless efficiency.

Businesses of all sizes now consider wireless integral to their operations and have made it the network of choice for employee and business connectivity.

Addressing the Data Tampering Threat

File integrity monitoring helps ensure that critical system and data files aren’t altered — maliciously or accidentally.

Most organizations associate the term “security breach” with the theft or exposure of sensitive data. However, data tampering could pose an even greater threat, according to leading security experts.

Safer Sharing

Organizations must take steps to reduce risks from unmanaged file-sharing services.

Cloud applications and services make it easy for business users to explore new ways to do their jobs with improved speed, flexibility andefficiency. Unfortunately, they also make it easy to circumvent IT authorization, which significantly heightens the risk of data loss and compliance violations.

Beyond the Password

Enhanced biometrics solutions boost security through stronger authentication.

The password has been a linchpin of security for millennia, a common way to demand proof of identity in order to control access to an area. It may have been effective for medieval castle sentries, but the password has become notoriously inadequate for protecting modern IT environments.

Outsourcing Cybersecurity

Organizations are turning to managed security service providers for help in boosting data security and regulatory compliance.

Organizations continue to make significant investments in cybersecurity, but cybersecurity incidents continue to make headlines.

A New Way to WAN

Software-defined WAN solutions help to reduce costs and streamline operations through flexibility, consolidation and centralized management.

The wide-area network (WAN) has become one of the most critical components of the IT infrastructure, enabling organizations to gain access to cloud resources and connect remote locations and workers to headquarters.

A Strong Relationship

Orlando Steel trusts Verteks to provide good advice and reliable technology solutions.

There are dozens of different metrics for evaluating the effectiveness of technology solutions. Organizations often base IT investment decisions on characteristics such as processing power, capacity, scalability, throughput, availability and more.

Embedded Communications

Communications Platform-as-a-Service is changing the way communications and collaboration services are delivered.

Remember when the phone system was a distinct piece of equipment that was managed by specialists? Those days are becoming a distant memory as more organizations adopt unified communications (UC) solutions.
