What is a cloud-first strategy?
According to a report from Cybersecurity Ventures, it is estimated that the annual cost of cybercrime will reach $10.5 trillion by 2025. Furthermore, the number of data breaches have been increasing year over year, and it's expected that it will continue to increase. A wide range of organizations and industries are targeted, from retail, healthcare, finance, and government. The most common types of breaches are phishing, ransomware and malware attacks, and insider threats. It's important for organizations to have a robust cybersecurity strategy in place to mitigate the risks and minimize the impact of a potential cyber attack.

What is a cloud-first strategy?
A cloud-first IT strategy is an approach where an organization prioritizes the use of cloud computing services over traditional on-premises infrastructure. This strategy usually involves moving as much of the organization's data, applications, and workloads as possible to the cloud, with the goal of reducing costs, increasing agility and scalability, and improving access to data and applications. A well-planned cloud strategy can also enable a business to take advantage of advanced features and services offered by cloud providers, such as disaster recovery, data analytics, and machine learning.
What is Software Defined?

Enabling a hybrid workplace
Software Defined refers to the abstraction of hardware components into software components that can be programmed and controlled through software. The term "software defined" is often used in the context of data center and network management. For example, SDN (Software Defined Networking) refers to the abstraction of the control plane (decision-making component) from the data forwarding function in networking devices. This allows for greater centralization of control, security enforcement and automation. Similarly, SD-WAN refers to the simplification of routing logic, traffic segmentation and optimization of WAN connectivity.

There's no doubt organizations had remote access infrastructure prior to the pandemic but most hadn't seen large remote workloads. However, COVID accelerated the need to support company-wide remote workloads which meant additional capacity and controls. This shift caught many by surprise, impacting productivity and business continuity. To secure-enable a hybrid workplace, organization must have a good understanding of their application landscape, user access requirements and user workflows. This will dictate the solutions required in order to meet compliance, data governance and company policy requirements.
What is Cloud OnRamp?

Still using POTS lines?
Cloud OnRamp refers to the process of connecting an organization's existing IT infrastructure and applications to a cloud platform in order to take advantage of the benefits of cloud, such as scalability, reliability, and cost-effectiveness while still leveraging existing IT investments. This setup typically involves implementing scalable VPNs or dedicated network connections to bridge on-premises infrastructure to a cloud service provider's infrastructure. The goal with cloud onramp is to provide a seamless and secure transition to the cloud without disrupting IT operations.

Still using POTS lines?
POTS (Plain Old Telephone Service) lines have been in use for over a century and the cost to consumers has gone up 3x - 5x compared to 2021, largely due to maintenance costs associated with legacy infrastructure. Luckily, there are more advanced, cost-effective solutions that allow businesses to improve productivity and efficiency. Keep your business numbers and move to a secure communications platform that combines calls, messaging, meetings, video conferencing and call center workflows.
