Maintaining a remote workforce means a lot of hands-on responsibility, including: productivity, continuity, making resources available to your employees and security. Fortunately, there are experts to help. Listen to this episode of B2B Tech Talk to hear Fortinet’s security pros discuss maintaining security for remote workforces.
In this episode of B2B Tech Talk, Keri talks with
Fortinet’s Sr. Director of Product Marketing,
Peter Newton, and Sr. Director of Corporate Channel Marketing,
Darius Goodall.
The trio discusses:
- Transferring an entire workforce from the office to remote work
- How companies can serve extensive work-from-home populations
- How to provide remote workers with the resources they need while maintaining security
"There's been a shift or a dynamic for partners to help their customers understand what's off-premise and what's on-premise. What needs a VPN and what doesn't? Then, how do you optimize that?" — Darius Goodall
