Life sciences companies increasingly rely on cloud computing environments to accelerate research. The cloud provides cost effective compute power, more efficient data processing, access to files and applications from anywhere, and advanced analytics tools to gain insights from data and manage it. But when a majority of that research is done by external contract research organizations (CROs) or in time zones on the other side of the world, that speed advantage can grind to a halt.

Configuration at scale is hard. At Egnyte, we’d developed a flexible system that was advantageous early on but put increasing stress on our engineers and processes as the company grew. And, being a cloud deployed software product, we needed to be able to serve all of its customers, which meant we had to come up with a solution that addressed our current challenges and set us up to support our future growth as well.

Most companies have internal policies and controls to regulate exposure of sensitive information. Employees are trained, and tools are used to enforce those policies. However, those same safeguards don’t exist when your business needs to share sensitive information with third parties.

For 18 years, Cybersecurity Awareness Month has raised technology users’ awareness about the critical importance of cybersecurity and provided them with helpful resources to interact safely online. This year’s observance of Cybersecurity Awareness Month could not be more critical. It is estimated that more than 2,800 ransomware attacks take place each week—that adds up to more than 145,000 ransomware attacks per year.

Since the Cybersecurity Maturity Model Certification (CMMC) was released in January 2020, there has been a lot of hand-wringing over what it means and who should actually care. This is especially true for AEC firms, many of which figure this regulation only applies to big system integrators and defense contractors like Northrup Grumman and Boeing. But CMMC isn’t just about large enterprises. Any organization that currently contracts with, or plans to contract with the U.S.

We’re kicking off a new series that will roll up our most recent product releases you need to know, all in one place. This first post will summarize some of the releases from the last few months. Moving forward, expect to see a post each month. We’re excited to share all the new features and product improvements we’ve been working on with you, so you can make the most of the Egnyte platform.

The 2021 Egnyte Data Governance Trends Report contains a plethora of interesting findings that offer insight into how we’ve been working collaboratively during the global pandemic, and the security threats that have arisen as a result.

The 2021 Egnyte for Life Sciences Summit is in the books, and it was a big success. Biotech visionaries and industry analysts came together to outline the future of the life sciences as we emerge from the pandemic constraints and look to ramp up to our new normal. We presented over four hours of content, with hundreds of life science organizations attending.

As a managed service provider, you can never sit still. Change is constant, whether it’s the technology, business needs, or clients’ expectations. And while MSPs are accustomed to the churn, this time it’s different. Businesses are digitizing their assets and moving to the cloud, governments continue to layer on more data regulations, security threats are on the rise, and the pandemic has turned traditional office culture on its head.

Today’s organizations utilize a multitude of solutions to create, share and manage their sensitive content. That business reality is exacerbated by additional cloud file storage solutions that result from acquisitions, competing employee preferences, or shadow IT initiatives. So, it’s no surprise IT teams struggle to manage and control document and file system sprawl.
