Creating a Consistent User Experience Across the Network
Writing for Gestalt IT, Tom Hollingsworth details why consistency is a crucial component within security policies. Users desire the best possible connectivity experience without sacrificing security performance. In today’s hybrid work settings, how do we secure out-of-office devices that are beyond the corporate firewall? How can corporate networks remain secure on open Wi-Fi or cellular hotspots while still providing a high-quality user experience? Hollingsworth dives into Aruba EdgeConnect – the software-defined connectivity solution that will keep networks secure and work environments flexible. Check out the rest of his thoughts on the Network World website.
