Over the past year or so, organizations have rapidly accelerated their digital transformation by employing technologies like cloud and containers to support the shift to IoT and address the expanding remote workforce. This digital shift calls for a new approach to asset visibility as traditional asset administration responsibilities like inventory, software support, and license oversight are often the purview of IT and addressed with IT inventory-focused tools.

Digital transformation changes the perimeter. When organizations had all their applications on-premises, the network firewall kept the right users inside the gate and malicious actors outside. However, the move to the cloud changed all that. In today’s hyper-connected ecosystem, understanding the components and types of access control can help you strengthen security.

No matter what sector your organization does business in, you’ve probably heard the term digital transformation. In every industry, digital transformation is going to be critical to remain competitive and resilient. But what does digital transformation mean? And how does cybersecurity fit in? Today’s organizations are facing an increasingly complex environment of securing everything attached to the network; applications, data, and endpoints.

Here are some insights from AVP, Cybersecurity Todd Waskelis as we discussed cybersecurity and application security in focus.

Most security pros know the value of log data. Organizations collect metrics, logs, and events from some parts of the environment. But there is a big difference between monitoring and a true centralized log management. How can you measure the effectiveness of your current logging solution? Here are four signs that it’s time to centralize log management in your organization: This post is based on content from the new Devo eBook The Shift Is On.

It is an accepted fact that one needs to constantly keep upgrading oneself to stay relevant in the industry and progress. Banks are at tipping point of adopting the changes happening in the industry. Digital channels have become “table stakes”, financial institutions must find different ways to differentiate themselves. Upending conventions, COVID 19 catalyzed the adoption of digital initiatives by companies and has also radically changed consumer behavior.

One unexpected consequence of the global pandemic is the acceleration of digital transformation across organizations of all sizes. With so many employees working from home, organizations realized they needed to upgrade to a cloud infrastructure to support everyone working remotely. As applications moved from on-premises to the cloud to support these new remote users, organizations needed to think about the APIs and microservices that connected users to essential applications.

A growing number of businesses are allowing their employees to work remotely for at least part of their work week. Right now, it’s estimated that 42% of workers in the U.S. are working from home. Even though working from home is becoming more common, many companies have still not taken the necessary steps to complete their digital workforce transformation. The key to successfully shifting to remote work is keeping tabs on your team with the help of employee monitoring software.

Think back to the end of 2019. Enterprises were evolving IT infrastructure at a moderate pace to reduce costs, be more competitive, and improve their ability to adapt to an increasingly digitized world. Whether migrating workloads to the cloud, virtualizing network functions, diversifying mobility, or moving applications and services closer to the edge, digital transformation was steadily evolving the business landscape.

Digital transformation is a double-edged sword. While it can increase worker productivity, improve customer service, and enhance product offerings it is often not an easy journey; IT teams become stretched as they prepare to deploy new applications and continue to support existing services. The deployment can be challenging for any number of reasons but it can be summarised as expensive and painful.
