COMPLIANCE

The importance of Compliance in your Infrastructure.

11:00 AM

Ariel Perez, Solution Architect
eMazzanti Technologies

There is an old saying “you cannot manage what you cannot measure.” This applies to any IT infrastructure that is not monitored. If your environment goes along like this and has not been patched or updated, it will always be at risk for threats. Should you be attacked, it is important that you can state that all your digital surfaces have been kept up to date, thus providing you with a level of compliance and security. Learn how eCare eMazzanti’s Network Monitoring application can provide you with an under the hood capture of your entire network, so you can manage what you can measure. Now with many environments supporting remote users, making sure these devices have the right tools for protection is important. Learn more in this session how you can make this process seamless and scalable.
