It is estimated that around 50% of the workforce is mobile and reliant on WIFI in order to operate. Whilst this is great for allowing productivity and efficiency to flourish, it can be a problem if the right security measures aren’t put in place.
That’s because the pace of emerging cyber threats has ramped up in recent years, with criminals using various methods to target these wireless users. Securing these users should be of paramount importance, especially when 97% of advanced malware exploits these gaps in your network if you don’t.
Luckily there’s a simple way to offer your workforce a secure wireless connection via the cloud with virtually minimal effort. Enter the Meraki MR/Umbrella integration.
