The I.T. Crowd
Firewalls & Training Calls By: Jimmy Martinez, Director IT
Collaboration has become 100% technical with the distance created by COVID, but did you know that most security measures were bypassed when the global work-from- home orders were announced. For years, the IT industry has focused on securing the data bordered around the building. Firewalls and other protection methods focused on users being inside the trusted network physically or on VPN.
When most corporate employees left their physical buildings to work remotely, they essentially left a lot of security behind. However, Authentix IT had already prepared for a challenge like this back in 2019. During that time, Authentix IT spent months converting all security to cloud based protection and treating all users as native cloud users ensuring that assets, data, and identity are all protected regardless of where you are in the world. You can feel assured that Authentix information security is positioned ahead of the global security threats no matter where you are, without the need of a VPN.
Authentix IT is dedicated to continuously providing optimization across the global organization. If you believe your department would benefit from more automation feel free to reach out for a discovery session on how we can help.
Training has become a focus of the IT team for 2020. We have created a micro training platform called “Minute Monday” where you can train on a specific subject for 60 seconds at a time. If you have missed a segment click here to list all subjects.
