Security - “SMBs must commit to a more agile, business-centric approach to security that doesn’t replace their existing security models but rather places security within the context of the overall organizational strategy. Cybersecurity attacks continue to become more sophisticated and a recent report from Splunk revealed that among public sector respondents, 63 percent said they struggle to leverage data to detect and prevent threats, compared with 49 percent of private sector respondents. All organizations regardless of size need to prioritize creative thinking and engagement at every level to address the cyber threat problem as the crisis that it is.”

Privacy - “With the increasingly blurred lines between personal and work devices, a heightened sense of privacy protection will continue to grow among consumers and employees working from home. SMBs must eliminate blurred lines for employees and customers so privacy is clear in terms of the data that you are sharing as an individual. Additionally, the ongoing work-from-anywhere culture will prompt companies to develop and enhance tech that is tailored to the new behaviors of the workforce, including IoT solutions to help monitor safety and well-being.”

Scalability - “One of the hardest parts of starting your own business is learning how your company is going to grow sustainably. SaaS and DaaS solutions provide technology to help power sustainable growth with lower capital investment. As your company grows, the software and solutions within your company can grow too.”
