With cyber security, the goal has always been simple – to maintain safe and stable business operations. While this goal may seem simple, the journey to get there is not always easy.
Evolution of Security
Way back when, security seemed so much easier. In the good old days, everything lived behind a firewall, within a corporate network. In the early 2000’s, access was granted through secure virtual private networks. This security revolved around the notion of ‘trust but verify.’
Unprecedented conditions surrounding the Covid-19 pandemic have left many businesses scrambling to find ways to accommodate an increasingly remote and virtual workforce. More employees are on the move during their workday, and even more are using their mobile devices to accomplish work-related tasks.
This mobility, combined with the increasing number of employees who work remotely has made the need to access workplace desktops from anywhere easily and seamlessly a priority. Fortunately, Windows Virtual Desktop is designed to ensure you have access to the tools needed to work wherever you need to.
Cloud Computing:
Its More Than Just A Technology Shift
Cloud computing delivers significant benefits in terms of a more simplified and flexible IT environment, right sizing of IT requirements, and pay per use consumption model.
A move to the Cloud is of great benefit to most Companies, however issues such as overcoming traditional mindsets, lack of visibility into the new infrastructure, data transfer costs, governance, and licensing must not be overlooked.
