Building A Secure Integrated Collaboration

Platform

By Allen Drennan, Principal & Co-Founder, Cordoniq

Integrated collaboration platforms improve and enhance the experiences of hybrid and remote
employees. Robust and comprehensive platforms are crucial to remote work environment success.

When collaboration tools can be accessed through a flexible platform, organizations achieve more well-
being for their employees while productivity increases. With a well-integrated collaboration platform,
teams can access the tools they need without having to toggle between multiple screens or applications.

But there are greater risks and vulnerabilities with the use of multiple communication and collaboration
tools and apps. Remote work creates its own security challenges because of expanded attack surfaces
and endpoints. Meanwhile, cyber threats are escalating continually, affecting businesses of all sizes.
Secure collaboration tools are a must as threats grow. Industries that are being specifically targeted by
malicious actors, such as banking, finance and healthcare, require even more secure collaboration tools
and platforms.
