Solving the Top 3 Privileged User Access Problems

ION Networks | 11/17/2020 9:42:11 AM

The traditional security perimeters used by organizations are vulnerable, and fast-growing technologies like cloud, mobile and virtualization are blurring these boundaries. Cyber criminals know this and exploit any vulnerabilities to access lucrative data, such as customer identities, financial information, and personal data, especially vulnerabilities associated with privileged users. This whitepaper discusses the top 3 privileged user access challenges faced by Managed Service Providers (MSPs) and enterprises when dealing with secure remote access to critical network devices and systems for their privileged users (whether internal or external), including:

1. Remote access and management: How to achieve remote access and management that reduces the threat of a security breach without compromising productivity.
2. Time to service: How rapid, secure access can be achieved without limiting the level of service that can be delivered.
3. Ensuring compliance: How varied compliance needs such as SOX, NIST, IRS, PCI or HIPAA can be met.

Data Growth and the MSP: Best Practices for Profitably Delivering Data Protection

Quest Data Protection | 10/30/2020 4:52:17 PM

Data growth is a major trend affecting organizations of all sizes, from small and medium-sized businesses (SMBs) to large enterprises. IDC’s Data Age 2025 Report: Digitization of the World from Edge to Core
predicts that data volumes will increase from 33 ZB in 2018 to 175 ZB by 2025. The firm also estimates that approximately half of the world’s data (49 percent) is already stored in the public cloud, and as data volumes rise over time, the amount of information stored in the cloud will continue to increase.

Managing this data growth is a top-of-mind issue for SMBs. In 2019, Techaisle surveyed small and medium sized firms to identify their top business issues, as well as pressing IT priorities and challenges. Respondents indicated that managing data growth is a top concern, outranking business continuity and data protection. The astronomical growth of information is making it difficult for all IT organizations, especially those inside SMBs, to handle data backup, protection, recovery and long-term retention. In response, many companies are turning to managed service providers (MSPs) for help.

128 Technology SASE Architecture

128 Technology | 10/27/2020 7:05:01 PM

In its 2019 Hype Cycle for Enterprise Networking report, Gartner defines SASE (secure access service edge) — pronounced “sassy” — as an emerging market that combines elements of Software-defined Wide Area Network (SD-WAN) and network security into a single cloud-managed package. Gartner has labeled it “transformational”. 128 Technology has been SASE (or sassy) since Birth! 128 Technology recognized that security must be fully integrated into the network. 128 Technology Session Smart™ routers have built-in security capabilities that are inherent part of the architecture. In addition, service-based routing ensures that sessions are delivered based on identity and context to relevant parties based on real-time policies. This ensures that a modern cloud-centric digital business can provide secure access to users and devices anywhere.

Automating Firewall Virtualization is Easy

Corsa Security | 10/26/2020 1:39:47 PM

Current firewall architectures are complicated, do not scale and lock you in. That’s why many look at virtualization to solve the issue just like it did for data centers and the cloud. But to make virtualization consumable, you need a turnkey platform that offers simple, automated virtualization of hardware firewalls and zero-touch network security operations. This whitepaper will explain how MSSPs can leverage this platform to offer a new firewall-as-a-service (FWaaS) that replaces their customers’ physical firewalls and begins the journey towards a complete secure access secure edge (SASE) architecture.

Self-Service Maturity Model: Gaining a Competitive Advantage from Self-Service

Inference Solutions | 8/27/2020 12:38:58 PM

Written By: DMG Consulting LLC <BR><BR>
Voice self-service has changed dramatically since voice response units (VRUs) first came on the scene in the early 1980’s. The self-service market has grown and expanded during the past 40 years, and it’s time for organizations to adopt the current generation of solutions as an important step in their digital transformation. The goal today is to provide a personalized and intelligent self-service experience cost effectively. It’s also important to deliver a consistent and high level of customer service regardless of the channel in which customers elect to interact. The most sophisticated self-service is provided by a relatively new IT sector called intelligent virtual agents (IVAs). IVAs use a natural language conversational approach, enhanced by machine learning and intelligent augmentation (IA), to deliver a personalized customer experience in any channel (voice, web, chat, instant messaging (IM)/short message service (SMS), email, etc.). The question is not whether you are ready to migrate from your existing self-service solutions to IVA-supported voice and digital self-service, but how quickly you can effectively adopt the new generation of AI-enabled self-service technology. Read this white paper to see where your organization currently stands in its self-service maturity evolution and the steps needed to make the transition to IVA successful.

Gartner has already done these surveys, and its findings are that artificial intelligence (AI) technologies are poised to dramatically raise the table stakes for customer engagement.1 Eighty-four percent of respondent companies indicated they were investing in customer experience technologies in 2018. A quarter expect to have virtual chatbot technologies deployed by 2020. Overall, thirty percent expect by the same year to be using AI technologies to augment at least one of their primary sales processes.

Buyers Guide to Intelligent Virtual Agents and Chatbots

Inference Solutions | 8/27/2020 12:33:28 PM

Major advancements in Artificial Intelligence (AI), Speech Recognition and Natural Language Processing have given organizations that need to automate self-service a giant leap forward. For the first time ever, companies of all sizes can now use Virtual Agents to reduce costs and improve the customer experience. Unfortunately, these advancements have also led to some confusion in the market. The terminology surrounding Virtual Agents can be confusing and it’s often challenging for an organization to understand exactly what can be accomplished today. Buyers also need a framework to help them decide which functionality should be implemented in order to meet their most pressing business needs.
