Today’s cybersecurity environment is complex. As it seems that the world is becoming more open and trusting, organizations are doubling down on security measures. A zero-trust approach is common among security-oriented organizations. Why is zero trust a good thing? We’ve asked an expert: Ian Mortimer, Senior VP of Technology at Pexip. There are countless important conversations, critical decisions, and strategic discussions happening right now over video technology.
When businesses process customer data, they are responsible for keeping it secure under Australia’s Privacy Act. If the information relates to anyone from Europe, the general data protection regulation (GDPR) also applies. Both regulations demand that organisations appropriately manage the personally identifiable information (PII) they hold. In addition, the Australian government has stipulated that businesses must address the significant increase in data breaches over the past two years.
As of 2022, all sizes of businesses face increased cybersecurity risks due to the rising number of remote employees, SaaS applications, and cloud services. To handle these complexities and protect all corporate assets from cyber attacks, businesses need various cyber security tools that will secure identities, devices, networks, and cloud environments. Let’s explain these modern security solutions and compare them.
In a digital-first world, organizations use a wide range of secure communication channels such as chat, email, phone, and video calls. In an enterprise, team members share sensitive information internally and with clients. Is your communication platform reliable at all times, with zero vulnerabilities? Your enterprise and customer data may be compromised if your platform doesn't guarantee these features. So, how does security for communication work on an enterprise level?
The healthcare sector is undergoing a significant digital transformation. Patients increasingly gravitate toward healthcare providers who provide digital capabilities such as self-scheduling, in-app reminders, and, most importantly, secure patient messaging. Furthermore, digital healthcare innovations allow for intense medical and non-medical staff collaboration within and across organizations.
Raise your hand if you know someone who’s fallen for a phishing scam. The ordeal often requires a few hours, several emails to tech support to regain control of the account, and finally, the reversal of credit card charges. Now imagine this happening to a colleague’s work email address. As an IT professional, you might have onboarded them into the company’s network, trained them on best practices, and worked with them regularly in the past.
Offering even more transparency, these enhancements empower teams to feel secure as they embrace the future of work.
For remote teams, connectivity and productivity might be two faces of the same coin. Working from the office isn't a prerequisite anymore, as the global workforce has shifted to a remote workplace. Reliance on internal communication has increased more than ever, with a wide range of communication tools such as email, phone calls, and social networking used daily. Long email threads and social media chats are no longer appropriate for business teams.
The most secure messaging apps are becoming a priority for more and more companies. They want to enable both best communication experience to their employees and ensure the highest level of security. Why? Because organizations know how beneficial team collaboration is. At the same time, they know that their reputation and business success depend on keeping their customers and internal data private.
