Broadband networks providing instant connectivity are a core requirement for most businesses. \u00a0Your network needs to provide fast access to Cloud Services including Email, Online Backup, Unified Communications, Call Center and other applications. \u00a0Business systems will be expected to be constantly accessible by customers and employees alike, and your network needs to be ready for this demand. Not only does your network need to be efficient and flexible, it needs to be secure.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Consider SD-WAN for Efficiency and Flexibility<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Software-Defined Wide Area Network (SD-WAN) technology, which has been a recently emerging technology, is expected to become common in the next few years. Research firm<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.networkworld.com\/article\/3237691\/lan-wan\/why-2018-will-be-the-year-of-the-wan.html\"> <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">IDC<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> expects this technology to grow by 69% by 2021. Revenue from this technology is expected to reach $2.3 billion in 2018 alone. Companies pursuing SD-WAN can mix and match networking solutions to get the most efficient and effective wide area connectivity. \u00a0Customers and employees have constant access to the Internet. With this access, however, monitoring and network security are vital.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The Role of Network Monitoring and Security<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">To have your network ready for business, it needs to be safe and secure. Not only does the network need constant monitoring, industry standards require rigorous compliance. For instance, online retailers need to keep their customers\u2019 credit card information secure. Hospitals and doctors\u2019 offices are required to comply with HIPAA. Even if your business is headquartered in the United States, you may need to comply with General Protection Data Regulation (GDPR). Endpoint security concerns include keeping anti-virus and anti-malware protections up-to-date.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Employees are the Front Line of Defense for Network Security<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">And don\u2019t forget the human element. Train your employees to identify scam emails and phishing schemes, and not to click on unfamiliar links. Emphasize the importance of reporting malware, so you can keep your system secure.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you are uncertain about whether your network is ready for business, contact your trusted technology advisor today for a network assessment.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Your network is under continuous pressure to keep up with the growth of your business.
