With remote work being the new normal thanks to the ongoing pandemic, enterprises are facing the dilemma of how to update and secure all their network endpoints while managing devices efficiently. Many businesses have adapted their operations to a remote work model. As a result, the increase in individuals working from home has put pressure on IT staff, the infrastructure, and security operations absorbing the extra burden.
The current sudden and forced work-from-home (WFH) situation has caught many organizations unawares. In fact, many are unprepared or underprepared when it comes to arming themselves with the right tools for a remote work model, leading to an increase in network vulnerability as users access data remotely. Employee productivity has also become a major concern among employers. Taking all of this into account, ManageEngine has decided to make AD360 free for organizations around the world.
When businesses have a high number of computers, getting all of them turned on manually can be a herculean task for any network admin. This can lead to organizations keeping their computers on even when not in use. Of course, this approach is not ideal, as electricity bills would skyrocket in result. That said, there are legitimate reasons for a network admin to leave a machine running after business hours (e.g., system maintenance or configuration management).
Vulnerability Manager Plus is ManageEngine’s enterprise security program that empowers system administrators with an essential set of tools for managing and mitigating threats and vulnerabilities across systems in IT infrastructure. This security solution features specialized tools that help enterprises improve their overall security posture. Some of its unique tools include its integrated patch management module, security configuration management, and prioritization of vulnerabilities.
Applications built on the Node.js platform, an event-driven I/O server-side JavaScript environment based on Google Chrome’s V8 engine, are known as Node.js applications. Since both the server-side and the client-side are written in JavaScript, Node.js facilitates easier and faster implementation of codes, and processes requests quickly and simultaneously; this is greatly beneficial for building real-time applications, especially chat and streaming applications.
Businesses around the world have been forced to adopt remote working policies in response to the COVID-19 outbreak. In just two months, a vast number of employees around the world shifted to a work-from-home environment. Although some businesses already had many of their IT operations available on the cloud before the pandemic—with the help of cloud-hosted email and collaboration suites such as Office 365—no one expected such a sudden and widespread transition into teleworking.
When organizations shift to a work-from-home environment, identity and access management (IAM) takes center stage. Organizations with remote workforces must fortify their IAM policies and tools for a better user experience to ensure productivity, while also handling all the security challenges remote work presents to ensure data and system security. One of the biggest risks an organization faces when its workforce goes remote is unnecessary and unauthorized access to organizational data.
