Maximizing productivity from a remote environment, particularly if it’s a new arrangement, can be a multifaceted challenge. Enabling employees to plan out their time, optimize their workspace, and minimize distractions are all important, but another key part of ensuring continuity from anywhere is finding ways to be digitally organized, using the tools at their disposal to label, organize and secure content even outside of your organization’s four walls.

In an examination of remote work done by the American Psychological Association, experts found, unsurprisingly, that one of the biggest challenges people face when working remotely is professional and personal isolation. More surprisingly, however, these same experts found that isolation could be eased by the perception of closeness created primarily through communication, collaboration and a sense of shared identity.

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.

Today is Data Privacy Day, an event sponsored by the National Cyber Security Alliance. The intent is to promote awareness and best practices for how citizens should think about security and how it relates to their data, their organizations, and ultimately, our nation. At a time when we transact with all manner of data in so many form factors, we are inclined to overlook the importance of measures that keep our data and content safe.

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.
