Secure Browsing Solutions: Which One is Right for Your Company

By Ilan Paretsky posted 08-20-2019

Your firewall, antivirus, and log management tools are no longer enough to keep you safe. As of 2018, 85% of all companies allowed users to bring in their own devices for work. That means that they’re potentially doing work on devices with security solutions that you haven’t personally verified. In addition, seven out of ten employees work remotely at least once a week. In other words, they’re working in places that aren’t protected by your firewall – or any firewall at all, for that matter. When your employees work remotely using devices that they choose themselves, they may be more productive – but they’re certainly more vulnerable to attackers. ...

Be the first person to like this.
Corporate real estate can be commercial, retail, industrial or even residential. The purpose of corporate real estate assets is to meet the financial, functional and future flexibility needs of a business. Corporate real estate leaders today have to go beyond the traditional role which has been primarily financial. Given that real estate is usually one of the largest costs for an organization, the simplistic view that looks at reducing costs may seem like a solid approach. But a more strategic view takes into account other factors, such as the revenue-boosting potential of real estate. Determine goals What do you want to accomplish by buying corporate ...
