It’s 12:00 PM and the Ground Floor meeting room is properly prepared for the scheduled meeting. A little later, all the partners have gathered in the meeting room and the discussion is about to begin. The company’s employees open their laptops while the external partners request the password to enter the network from their own mobile devices. Some even connect to more than one device. Somewhere here the question arises as to how protected are we from external threats when we allow access to our network to third parties?
As we move to the digital work environment, it is vital for businesses to properly prepare their IT infrastructure. Modern businesses with their complex network infrastructures that include cloud and always-on mobile connections are exposed to attacks more than ever. BYOD has changed the way we work, making it more mobile than ever. This is driving new trends, mobile services, real-time monitoring and business analytics that can impact the daily transactions of individuals and businesses. Is there finally a way to protect ourselves?
