As we enter the holiday season, Egnyte is excited to share a number of updates to its platform, including user experience improvements, new governance functionality, and enhancements to search on mobile. Check out some of our top product releases for November below.

You can build the best system in the world, but it won’t matter if no one uses it. That might sound obvious, but it’s often overlooked. Getting your users to buy into a new system is not as easy as flipping a switch. It takes planning, initiative, and reinforcement to make sure your software is broadly adopted.

Egnyte users want to get the files they need as fast as possible. Less time spent scouring folders means more time doing the work that really matters, and one of the best ways to do that is with the Egnyte Desktop App. With the Egnyte Desktop App you get real-time access to all your files and folders stored in the cloud, directly from your computer.

Your organization runs on information, and much of that information is sensitive. You need consistent governance policies to protect users and data, but just protecting files is not enough. You also need to be able to scan your documents quickly and easily to find personally identifiable information (PII). More than three-quarters of companies have files housed in email repositories, and these often contain customer PII, health records, and other sensitive information.

The TMF Summit, a clinical documentation management conference hosted by industry observer Fierce Biotech, was held in late October in New Orleans. There was plenty of talk about familiar topics such as data quality and integrity, as well as data submission workflows and monitoring. But what stood out this year was how the pandemic continues to reshape the industry.

When it comes to construction technology, one size doesn’t necessarily fit all. Businesses often have different needs that require different tools to automate established processes, or standard operating procedures (SOPs). This creates a problem, however, because decision makers have to sift through the available technologies—and the depth and breadth of what processes they can cover—to find the right solution.

Private equity firms understand the threat of cyberattacks all too well, but they don’t always know the best way to proactively address this growing problem. According to a recent report by global consulting firm Deloitte, worldwide private equity assets under management (AUM) are anticipated to reach $5.8 trillion by 2025.

Cybersecurity regulations were long viewed as an esoteric afterthought, even as technology exploded into every corner of our lives. But that's no longer the case, as governments and businesses seek to get a better grip on privacy regulations and data protections. At Egnyte, we track legal and regulatory trends closely so we can better serve our customers and respond to changes. Based on those observations, here are our cybersecurity regulation predictions for 2022.

The number of ransomware attacks continues to grow, and that trend will likely continue in 2022. Organizations will be attacked, files will be encrypted, and victims will need to decide whether to pay ransom or try to implement expensive and painful recovery techniques on their own. That much, unfortunately, should come as no surprise, but what will be different is how those attacks are carried out.

Which is staler: 14-day-old bread or your point cloud data? Affordable, reality-capture technologies are rapidly changing how AEC firms conceive of, design, and build structures today. Companies are using laser scanners, 360-degree cameras, drones, smartphones, and more to capture high-fidelity data that details every dimension throughout a project. Stakeholders can then use that data to collaboratively visualize, plan, build, adjust, and complete projects faster and more accurately.

Bandwidth pricing is a major component of the cloud services model. And for a content-heavy service like a video or document store, egress costs can quickly spiral out of control. To mitigate this, it is important to put limits on the amount of data that can be downloaded in a given interval. However, bandwidth limiting for a multi-tenant SaaS product adds a few interesting challenges.
