This pandemic has forcefully changed the business world globally. For small and large, global and national organizations, the basics – how we do business, the way we do business, where we do it from – is all new. Chances are, for many, this might become permanent, considering the spiked levels of productivity at reduced cost of operations.
Work from home is the new norm and Gartner confirms that 41% of the workforce is likely to work from home post COVID-19. This change in processes brings with it the darker side of security threats, data breaches along with challenges to securely and efficiently support the diverse, disparate IT environments.
The silver linings called Managed IT services
For major technology leaders, choosing the managed services route is a way to secure not only the operations, data, deliverables, but most importantly boost employee productivity and customer experience. With work from home, employees are more likely to use unsecure internet connections raising security risks. To address this concern and more, Managed IT service providers can help you to devise a strategy that ensures secured data, maximized uptime, 24X7 monitoring and security along with prompt responses to IT issues during unforeseen circumstances to ensure a robust foundation for unhindered business continuity.
