Your networks are the highways that enable data transfers and cloud-based collaboration. Like highways connect people to physical locations, networks connect people to applications and databases. As you would look up the fastest route between two physical locations, your workforce members need the fastest connectivity between two digital locations. Network load balancers enable you to prevent and identify digital “traffic jams” by redistributing incoming network requests across your servers.

As reported software vulnerabilities are reaching record levels, IT teams are grappling with the ongoing grind of keeping endpoints patched and up-to-date. Recent reports detail that while some attacks rely on newly discovered exploits, 50 percent of attacks target vulnerabilities reported before 2017. The never-ending cycle of discovered exploits and the ongoing time, resources and employee hours used to deploy patches to devices places a considerable burden on staff aiming to enhance organizational security. Automated patch management would free up team members to focus on more critical vulnerabilities, but organizations may find that getting to that point may be a bit more challenging than expected.
