Malware attacks are becoming an all too common headline in the media. Fox Business reported that ransomware attacks have risen 32% in North America in 2021 alone. This unfortunate trend is not exclusive to North America, but instead these malicious cyberattacks are on the rise all across the globe.
Imagine that you have just received that dreaded notification. As you were wrapping up your workday, a small window popped up on your computer screen and notified you that your network had been infiltrated. Now what?
Your network is the backbone of your IT infrastructure and plays a critical role in your daily business operations. When COVID-19 forced many organizations to shut their physical offices and move to remote work, having a well-designed and flexible network capable of responding to your evolving business needs became even more critical.
Over a year ago, COVID-19 shuttered workplaces worldwide, dispersing teams as employees traded cubicles and open plan offices for kitchen tables and spare rooms. With vaccination efforts well underway, many businesses are slowly bringing workers back on-site. However, without the right tools, this phased return can make it difficult for on-site and remote workers to communicate and collaborate effectively.
These days, a lot of infrastructure and security products claim to use AI. However, behind the curtain, what most products call “AI” (artificial intelligence) is actually machine learning or deep learning. Both machine learning and deep learning are incredibly powerful tools, capable of filtering through an enormous amount of information in incredibly short periods of time. This is critical for quickly and accurately detecting and responding to anomalies within a given environment.
For many organizations, 2020 brought with it a sudden shift regarding how daily business operations are conducted. COVID-19 forced many organizations to pivot, pushing workers out of their workplaces and into their homes. This sudden shift made the ability to leverage technology effectively critical for continuing operations.
Earlier this year, when organizations across the globe were forced to suddenly pivot to remote work, many experienced a rough transition. Though many organizations have mostly adapted to this new normal, quite a few continue to struggle from a technology standpoint and may be inadvertently compromising their security posture. The Bird Rock team is here to help you safeguard your digital assets and support your remote work teams so you can focus on what you do best.
