Making the New Normal Environment Safe

IT teams are certainly faced with an unprecedented list of challenges this year. However, the tools to
secure the new hybrid environment of more people working remotely fortunately do exist. VDI providers
like Citrix are proven options for secure, device agnostic desktop delivery. DaaS gives organizations
another route to deliver applications via the cloud, on demand and securely, enabling business continuity
in the case of a disruptive event. Advanced endpoint management software is already in successful
deployment, enabling workers to access their user profiles via the cloud, while IT policy controls are
executed to support network security.

Regardless of the system chosen, VDI or DaaS, the task is clear: organizations will need to embrace the
use of more personal and BYOD devices, coupled with advanced security software to manage the
changing work culture.
