Remote and hybrid work models have dramatically changed endpoint management requirements. Traditional tools deployed are not effective for managing devices and applications remotely. Multiple tools are needed for various device types and operating systems, creating a fragmented environment that increases complexity and makes it difficult to enforce policies consistently.

Imagine security personnel who never sleep, who are constantly analyzing video surveillance systems in real time and looking for an array of factors that could indicate a threat. That’s the promise of AI-powered physical security.

AI-powered physical security uses artificial intelligence to automate and enhance systems that protect people, property and operations.

Data fuels today’s digital economy. Organizations around the globe are collecting, storing, analyzing, sharing and monetizing massive data stores in search of market insights, operational efficiencies and customer experience enhancements. Protecting all that data has become an extreme challenge, however.

In our previous post, we explained why more organizations are adopting the managed security model and outsourcing some or all security functions to a managed security services provider (MSSP). Even the largest enterprises are often turning to MSSPs to help protect their data and IT environments, both on-premises and remote, from unprecedented levels of cyberattacks.

The average cost of a data breach in the U.S. is now at a record high of $10.22 million, compared to $4.44 million globally. The healthcare, financial services and industrial sectors are the hardest hit, but no organization is immune to the risk. One successful cyberattack could put any organization out of business.

Email remains the most widely used business communication tool. It is also the most common vector for cyber threats.

IT teams focus a lot of attention on making email easy to access and use while preventing the most common email-borne attacks. Because human error is involved in up to 95 percent of security breaches, much of the attention is focused on preventing spam, phishing and other malicious emails from reaching users’ inboxes.

How well is your IT infrastructure supporting your business requirements and objectives? That’s a difficult question for many small to midsize enterprises (SME) to answer. Few SME leaders have the technical savvy to evaluate the reliability, security and performance of their IT environment.

In the popular sci-fi TV series Stranger Things, researchers inadvertently open a portal to the “Upside Down,” an alternate dimension that is home to a sinister collection of predatory creatures. That sounds a lot like the dark web, the digital world’s own alternate universe.

Agile and reliable communications are critical in financial services. Customers are more demanding than ever, expecting responsive and highly personalized experiences. Financial services firms must be able to communicate seamlessly across multiple channels and be agile enough to adapt to changing market conditions.

Physical security is top of mind in organizations of all sizes. Theft, vandalism and workplace violence remain serious threats that can endanger staff, disrupt operations and result in financial losses.

Suspicious drone activity is a growing issue with potential safety and security implications.
