Hybrid Work Environment Success Part 3: Security

Part 3 in our hybrid work environment success series looks at the role of security in a thriving hybrid work environment. Part 1 focused on mobility in hybrid work environments. Part 2 focused on cost-effectiveness.

In our continuing series on hybrid work, we explore business requirements for cloud-based communications. During the turmoil of the last few years, businesses of all sizes scrambled to put in place communications and collaboration tools to enable their employees to work from home. Many pieced together several applications for video conferencing, messaging, and telephony without considering the importance of a holistic security strategy that spans all these modes of communication.

Security is table stakes for UCaaS and spans physical security at the cloud provider hosting facility, network infrastructure security, application security, and customer and UCaaS cloud provider business processes.

Security and compliance risks like the one found on Microsoft Teams can create liability issues. Security should be top of mind for businesses of all sizes. Technical decision-makers need a UCaaS platform that meets the highest security standards. This affords IT departments peace of mind and enables them to focus on core business requirements rather than spending time creating and enforcing security policies across UCaaS apps.
