Day One at Gartner Symposium/ITxpo 2014
It’s day one at Gartner Symposium, and we’re ready for the show floor to open and for four full days of sessions, a busy exhibit hall and conversations around “Driving Digital Business.” I’m personally looking forward to meeting with some of our customers and partners this week. If you’re at the conference, be sure to stop by our booth #146 to meet with our team, grab some cool swag, and check out our demos.
A trade show isn’t complete without great announcements from the event, so…
All the way in Orlando, Florida, we’re happy to announce new security initiatives at Egnyte. Driving digital business without security it like riding a roller coaster without guardrails - things can get out of control pretty fast. Egnyte has built a robust solution with security and data protection at the core to help us effectively meet the security, compliance and privacy needs of our customers. Here’s a quick look at the security initiatives we announced today:
Data Transport: We help customers securely access and manage their data both in the cloud and on premises. Through a new integration with Netskope, a leading cloud security company, our customers can eliminate Shadow IT by monitoring, tracking and restricting employee usage of rogue cloud applications across the company’s network. This partnership with Netskope also offers our customers a free cloud risk assessment tool.
Authentication & Authorization: We integrate with customers’ on-premises security appliances, including AD, LDAP, and SSO, to enhance security and user management within Egnyte and across all storage locations on premises and in the cloud. We partner with Otka, an enterprise-grade identity management provider. Our Co-Founder and VP of Product Management Rajesh Ram will be speaking at Okta’s event Oktane in mid-November 2014 about the key threat vectors that organizations face when it comes to the cloud and mobility and how to effectively manage them.
Secure Cloud Migration Education: We are committed to providing tools and resources for CIOs and IT Pros to effectively define their cloud migration strategy and selectively move data to the cloud based on their business and compliance requirements. We will be hosting a webinar on October 16, 2014, titled “Moving to the Cloud: Managing Risks,” so be sure to sign up to secure your spot.
Interested in learning more? Stop by the booth for a demo of our new security features. If you’re interested in scheduling a 1:1 meeting, there’s still time to RSVP here.
