Workforce Passwordless Authentication: Beyond the Hype and Here to Stay

Let’s face it—passwords are a pain, especially for employees and contractors who deal with them daily. We all know that our so-called “secure” passwords often end up being something like “Password123,” “qwerty” or another easily forgotten combination—and those same passwords are frequently used between personal and corporate accounts. And even when we try to be smart about it, they are still the easiest way for hackers to get in.

What are static subnets? How do they help streamlining connections for devices?

Static subnets are the fixed range of IP addresses in the network that are assigned to select individual devices manually. Static subnets differ from dynamic subnets in one way: the IP address of static subnets is permanently assigned to devices, compared to dynamic subnets where the IP allocation varies from time to time and device to device.
