The Importance of Managing and Securing Your Network in the New WFA World
with Vijay Mistry, Cisco
With the WFA (work from anywhere) culture expanding, PAV i.t. services have brought together a consortium of organisations who have significant insight or provide key technologies that we believe are essential for all organisations such as yours at this point in time. The consortium includes CISCO, Comstor, Gauntlet Group as well as Wells Technology and Pentest People. The consortium represents an organisation focusing on CISO / CIO guidance, the insurance industry and world-wide suppliers of networking and security products. Additionally, @PAV is an IT services company which has more than 250 customers and brings a unique service first approach to the technology considerations as outlined within this campaign.
Over the coming weeks, the consortium will provide you with tailored blogs and webcasts where our sole intention is on the provision of knowledge that helps you to formulate a plan that addresses the following key questions:
- How can your organisation maintain effective communications between applications, clouds, staff when more often than not, your staff are increasingly working from anywhere (WFA)?
- How can high levels of organisational collaboration be secured within an online / digital world?
- How can your organisation provide efficient management of networking solutions in this ever more complex IT environment?
- Should your organisation be worried about the costs of being breached?
- What are the legal ramifications of being breached and having proprietary / sensitive / PII information exposed?
- What are the key recovery considerations following a breach?
- What are leading / innovative organisations doing and what lessons should less WFA aligned companies learn?
These are significant questions at any time but right here and right now, these questions are of profound importance to all organisations.
Our consortium believe that by not addressing these questions you will be delivering the wrong IT service. This will at best result in a less competitive organisation with modern workplace efficiency issues affecting ability of an organisation to collaborate in a secure manner. We feel that there would be a sizeable and negative impact on organisational trading profits as a result. However, at worse if your IT service has not adjusted to the modern work practices and Work from Anywhere then you are at a greater risk of being exposed and eventually succumbing to a business closure event that is triggered by a security or networking shortcoming and external actors exposing it.
