For the last two years, it’s an understatement to say we’ve witnessed big shifts in the relationship between most employees and their work environment. Many of us saw our work experience transform seemingly overnight into predominately a digital one as working from home became the ‘new normal.’
We are excited to announce that Ivanti Neurons for MDM now fully supports all Windows Autopilot modes. This includes Autopilot pre-provisioned and self-deploying mode, in addition to the previously supported user driven mode. In particular, this self-deploying mode works seamlessly to automatedly enroll and configure HoloLens2 and Windows PC devices.
We have just released Workspace Control 2022.1 (10.8.0.0), which contains three major new features and several bug fixes. We’ve also included several workflow improvements based on User Voice requests which were submitted via the Product Ideas page on the Ivanti Community.
No one will be surprised to hear that ransomware is, once again, on the rise. The last two years have seen a stratospheric increase in both the frequency and sophistication of attacks. In a just-released report from Ivanti, Cyber Security Works and Cyware, 2021 closed out with alarming statistics including a 29% increase in CVEs associated with ransomware, and a 26% increase in ransomware families compared to the previous year.
With Ivanti’s release of Endpoint Manager 2021.1 SU2, on-prem customers are now better equipped to modernize their Windows 11 migration and streamline patch automation.
Ransomware attacks are increasing in frequency and severity every year. The impact to companies is devastating. These attacks typically lead to lost business for companies as they often cause increased customer turnover, system downtime, diminished reputation and other adverse side effects.
Cyberattacks have become more pervasive globally, evolving quickly in sophistication and scale, and are now more lucrative than ever for cybercriminals. Not only has The Everywhere Workplace extended the cyber risk and threat landscape—especially for data privacy and its protection—but a lot of Agile software developers, many of whom lack any DevSecOps process, are publishing untested or poorly tested software that can be exploited as zero-days by criminal gangs.
What is your New Year’s resolution for 2022? Well, it is that time of year again! My resolutions are not necessarily new, but a continuation of several that I have made in prior years. Eat healthier foods, lose weight, and save money are the ones that immediately come to mind. Another best practice that I started several years ago was to adopt a passwordless authentication initiative for all my internet connected personal devices.
This gives new meaning to the term “wired and tired.” A brand-new survey from Ivanti finds that IT professionals have never been considered more critical to a company’s operations and success, and yet in spite of – or perhaps because of – that pressure, they’re facing a mountain of obstacles and unrelenting fatigue.
Over the last year, labour shortages and supply chain challenges have created a perfect storm, creating a business landscape marked by strained resources and little room for error. The 2021 holiday season ramped up pressure on businesses that are already struggling to keep up.
