‍ Data from the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) shows that ISO 27001 certification is one of the most rapidly-growing standards, with nearly 59,000 valid certificates in place as of December 2022. As a compliance framework that is based upon the core cybersecurity principles of people, processes and technology, ISO 27001 compliance provides your organization with significant benefits. So, you need to take action now.

‍ This month, we're excited to bring you some long-awaited enhancements to folder/document/project creation, co-editing for users who may not have full folder permissions, saved search filters, and co-editing on Desktop App Core.

Architecture, engineering, and construction (AEC) professionals know the importance of keeping their documents organized, but often find themselves racing against time to locate needed materials. With this in mind, Egnyte announces its new AEC-specific document classification feature that will automate and simplify the classification and discovery of essential files like drawings, specifications, RFIs, and submittals.

‍ In my previous blog, I shared details about the global proliferation of data privacy regulations, including the fact that at least 10% of U.S. states will be covered by stronger data privacy regulations by the end of 2023.

Portable Document Format (PDF) files are popular in the Architecture, Engineering, and Construction (AEC) industry for their standard format that can be viewed and interacted with by anyone with access to the file. But what makes PDF files even more powerful is a users’ ability to easily annotate the file with their changes, edits and suggestions.

It can be difficult for architecture, engineering, and construction (AEC) firms to keep up with the latest project updates and ensure all stakeholders are kept informed. To help streamline project management processes, Egnyte is proud to introduce the project homepage – making critical information more accessible than ever before.

Every sales and marketing interaction — regardless of where it happens — generates data. Every note written on a salesperson’s computer and every contract or presentation that is uploaded into a CRM system produces valuable signals sales teams use to secure leads and close deals.

The AEC industry is notoriously reliant on data - data that is housed in documents that support design through initial bid response and project build to post occupancy. Project teams employ everything from traditional Microsoft word documents and excel spreadsheets to extremely large industry specific files such as BIM, CAD, RVT, DWG, as well as point cloud data generated by 3D laser scanners and LiDAR - just to name a few.

‍ As a cybersecurity evangelist, I’m constantly exposed to contrasting perspectives on the significance of IT Security projects. Although companies of all shapes and sizes have become more vigilant about cyber protection, it’s fairly commonplace for SMBs to think, ”We’re too small to be of interest to cyberattackers.” Nothing could be further from the truth.
