Today, we are facing an unprecedented situation. The COVID-19 pandemic is affecting everything we know -- our families, our businesses, our communities, and our way of life. In these tough times, many organizations have resorted to mandatory remote working for employees so they can still be productive and safe. Saas productivity tools like Zoom, Slack, G-Suite and Office 365 became seemingly mandatory in this new distributed workplace.

In recent weeks, companies and organizations that ordinarily operate in a more “traditional” office environment have had to pivot quickly to flexible and alternative working arrangements. At Egnyte, our goal has always been to help provide safe, secure access to your content no matter where you are, and that goal has become increasingly more important in the current climate.

The safety of business content is a top priority for every company. Especially at a time when data breaches and other cyberattacks threaten the stability of our systems, protecting our data is an essential corporate function.

In this article, we will describe a mechanism that will make it possible to implement uniform ID-mappings across multiple appliances.

The COVID-19 virus (or coronavirus) is having an impact on businesses across the globe. Organizations have been pressed to balance productivity with the protection of their employees and partners. With that in mind, we’ve collected a few helpful resources from Egnyte that can help enable continuity in times of business disruption.

Today we announced that, in a few weeks, we will be releasing the next generation of Egnyte. Instead of separate products, Egnyte Connect and Egnyte Protect, we will be offering the comprehensive breadth of our solution under one, open framework: the Egnyte Content Services Platform.

A Guide to User and Resource Access In any system, the access or denial of resources is determined by the identity of the entity that attempts to use the resource. Therefore, identity mapping plays a very crucial role in ensuring that access to resources is as broad as it needs to be, but is limited only to those who are authorized to have access and protecting resources from unauthorized access.

The life sciences industry is undergoing major transitions. Pharma, biotech, and medical device companies generate more data than ever and require higher processing power for clinical trials, gene sequencing and more. Many life sciences organizations are transitioning legacy technology stacks to the cloud, which promises the ability to accelerate processes, mobile collaboration, and strong security. To further complicate matters, there is increasing pressure to maintain regulatory compliance.

As the year comes to a close, it’s normal for CEOs to reflect on the preceding 12 months. This is a special time in the history of Egnyte, so this look-back can only be done with the additional perspective of the past 12 years, as well as a look forward to 2020.

Data is the lifeblood of the life sciences. As therapeutics, medical devices, and diagnostics advance from early-stage development into clinical testing and beyond, the scrutiny of reported data and procedures dramatically increases. Dating back to the 1990s, many pharmaceutical and biotech companies have implemented systems and processes to store, exchange, and analyze regulated data from environments governed by GxP (e.g, clinical trials, manufacturing, toxicology, etc.).
