“Work from anywhere” is now a common occurrence. With so many companies now dependent on a distributed workforce, IT teams need to be able to quickly diagnose and troubleshoot WiFi problems. Moreover, they, themselves, are often working remotely. In order to successfully do their jobs, consistent WiFi is obviously essential for remote workers.
I recently joined Neil C. Hughes on his podcast TechFusion by Citrix Ready to discuss the challenges that remote working has thrust upon enterprise IT teams. I’ve followed Neil’s work for some time from afar, so it was a joy to meet him and appear on his podcast alongside of Allan Furmanski, the lead product marketing manager for Citrix Virtual Apps and Desktops.
Virtual reality, augmented reality, 3D environments…no matter what you do for work, you’ve been hearing these futuristic-sounding terms for years. To the average worker, these technologies have always existed on the periphery of day-to-day life. They might make waves in the gaming industry, for example, but they’re not changing the workplace on a mass scale. Well, that’s about to change.
Although parts of life have been put on pause due to the pandemic, our relationship with work hasn’t stalled away from the office. But working from home has profoundly changed the structure and flow of work. Employers and employees are collaborating to define what “workplace” means in 2022 and beyond.
Today many enterprise businesses suffer from security attacks but don’t understand how to protect their applications from being exposed. The most common attacks today are simple to execute such as a SQL injection, network Distributed Denial of Service (DDoS), Cross Side Scripting (XSS) and more. These are common attacks that can be mitigated by setting up a security framework to protect enterprise assets.
In 1993 the management guru Peter Drucker argued that “commuting to office work is obsolete.” As of last year, his vision hadn’t quite come true: nearly half of global companies in one survey still prohibited remote working. Then the pandemic hit. Suddenly millions of people started doing their jobs from home. Work will never be the same.
Remote work poses new demands for hybrid cloud security. Here’s how organizations can protect themselves from security threats in this complex landscape.With employees continuing to work from home to meet the social distancing requirements of COVID-19, more people are juggling business with personal engagements, at times outside normal business hours. Often, they’re using their mobile business laptop, as well as a plethora of additional wireless mobile devices.
Digital workplace solutions have played a huge role in streamlining the shift to remote work. It has improved the employee experience and organizational productivity and made work-from-home almost as smooth as in-office work. While it has certainly made work life easier for both employees and managers alike, from a cybersecurity standpoint, having a single integrated interface with all the data from the organization in one place leaves the company vulnerable.
