10 Steps You Can Take Now to Address Major Data Challenges

Data Insights Briefing

COVID took most organizations by surprise. Companies that had previously ignored cloud technology and strategy became increasingly disrupted. Even companies in the process of digital transformation — while better positioned than most — were unprepared for the magnitude of the challenge. As organizations increasingly accept that COVID is a longer-term challenge, they also have a chance to appreciate the pandemic’s silver lining: enabling “work from anywhere” and accelerating technology modernization across all parts of the business — even those areas previously not considered. In this new TEC37 episode, WWT experts Darren Roback and Michael Johnson discuss how many customers had to pause certain initiatives, reappropriate budgets to meet changing demands, and scramble to enable services to maintain even minimum levels of business operations.

Zero Trust is a framework that combines Identity and Access Management (IAM), Enterprise Segmentation and other security components to provide “least access” protection to corporate networks and resources. WWT Cybersecurity architects Steve Brodson, Ricky Boyd and Ken Dunham join host Robb Boyd to discuss the key ways in which a Zero Trust Architecture could have protected against the Solar Winds-based attacks that made the news in December.

In the first episode of World Wide Technology’s TEC37 Networking Series, host Robb Boyd and WWT’s Syed Jafri and Chandler Heath discuss the role of Private LTE networks.  These networks will help enterprises increase in-building capacity, provide a better end user experience and enhance the capabilities for enterprise level applications of Internet of things, while also providing a platform for the broader adoption of 5G. Enterprises undergoing digital transformation can use Private LTE on the new CBRS band to improve in-building connectivity complementing WiFi6. This high-speed, low-latency local area network allows them to connect all devices and “things” (robots, drones, sensors, machinery, buildings), automate operations, gain insights from customers and innovate new business models that position them to lead the digital economy. In this episode Syed and Chandler will introduce you to the basics, discuss enterprise use cases that are most optimal for private LTE, how service providers can leverage their experience and assets to deliver seamless end-to-end mobility and how enterprises can leverage private LTE to grow their infrastructure offerings and foster innovation.
