Mid-market businesses need the same robust protections as large enterprises, without being able to call on the same level of resources. In addition to being effective, their defenses must never slow the business down, but instead become an engine for innovation that can help power their way forward to opportunity.

In a digital business, processes are rarely, if ever, confined to the infrastructure of the company. Customers and employees engage across numerous digital channels and dozens of third-party relationships critical to operations. IT leaders must rapidly evolve to protect their firms’ brands, strengthen their reputations, and build customer trust. To do so, security and productivity should go hand-in-hand, and that means a well-defined policy framework, metrics that demonstrate business value, and a business-aligned strategy that ties all this together.
Balanced security requires firms to transition from treating privacy and data security as compliance requirements to one that champions privacy and uses its technology prowess to differentiate the brand. Any misstep with or changes to the IT infrastructure can and will exacerbate complexity, which is why building a balanced security strategy is so important. A balanced security strategy negates complexity by keeping up with the pace of technological change as well as industry disruption and evolving regulatory compliance. In March 2019, Dell commissioned Forrester Consulting to evaluate the evolving security trends and technology needed to protect and enable employees. Our study found that empowering employees while adhering to security protocols improves employee productivity. Forrester conducted an online survey of 887 senior business and IT decision makers to explore this topic.

Security leaders have been in front of boards and executive committees long enough to know that security metrics that simply portray statistics from monitoring tools, or count the number of malware attacks, add relatively little value to strategy and budget decisions. Protecting sensitive customer and company data shouldn’t be just a compliance obligation, it should be a business imperative. This is exactly why the right technology partners will help push security, risk, and compliance objectives forward. In March 2019, Dell commissioned Forrester Consulting to evaluate the evolving security trends and technology needed to protect and enable employees.

At the beginning of 2020, organizations scrambled to provide employees with the means to work remotely. As we continue into a remote-first world, organizations need to enable people to work from anywhere, with the same security and productivity as their HQ.
The only problem: VPN and SD-WAN-based networks weren’t designed for this new normal. Employees are unable to access the resources they need to perform their job, responsiveness of enterprise applications are significantly slower, and IT is overwhelmed with the sheer volume of troubleshooting legacy network issues.
This eBook with NetFoundry will demonstrate how to rapidly overcome the security, performance, and network management constraints of legacy networks and VPNs as you transition toward a longer-term remote work strategy.
Avast CISO, Jaya Baloo, Discusses Cybersecurity Solutions for Today’s Businesses
One size doesn’t fit all when it comes to businesses. Some may have a full IT team on staff. Others may not, and many are limited by resources and budget. With cyberattacks targeting small to mid-sized businesses at an all-time high, it’s critical for IT consultants and service providers to be having those conversations with SMBs about enterprise grade security protection, tailored exactly to their needs.
In an interview with Richard Tubb, the IT Business Growth Expert, Jaya Baloo covers:
While legacy security applications did their part in the past, they no longer serve an increasingly cloud-powered digital world. Even encryption alone isn’t enough and has been used by cyberattackers to conceal and deliver threats.
Similar to a seatbelt, keeping software updated through patch management is a crucial security feature. However, the complications of patching in the past have led many IT managers and business owners to opt out of patching altogether.
In this white paper, we’ll cover:
Is your business or IT team doing all it can to secure devices? With users connecting from anywhere and network perimeters dissolving, this year has quickly turned in to one of the most transformational years for cybersecurity. Now is the time to ensure your security is modernized and ready to take on the latest attack methods.
This white paper will walk you through:
Digital transformation will always be a delicate balance of improved processes and increased risk. Businesses are at risk of experiencing a data breaches or security incident during a full digital transformation if they fail to increase their security in tandem.
This white paper will discuss the current risks in a digital transformation that make businesses particularly vulnerable to attack, as well as the three essential steps IT teams can take to mitigate them.
The appropriate level of proactive security and monitoring will keep businesses from overspending on security, or the steep cost of a data breach.
In particular, this paper will cover:
Few would argue against the benefits containers and containerized applications running on cloud resources have brought to businesses. Containers enable agile deployment capabilities, so require less coordination and oversight than on-premise or virtualization infrastructure, and in many cases, offer more flexibility. These new architectures and dynamic infrastructures that support and automate application deployment and management have introduced security challenges as well.
