Cumbersome infrastructure is a thing of the past, with the cloud offering businesses more functionality at a fraction of the cost. Cloud management and security allows the organisation to easily manage and protect their information, increasing efficiency.
"Cloud-based device management and security solutions offer significant benefits for organisations needing to more effectively manage and secure end-points," says Jeremy Matthews, country manager for Panda Security. "The solutions offer reduced complexity and the ability to manage users whether they are in the office or not."
IT service providers struggling with limited resources and trying to reduce costs often end up with a mash-up of cheap, but ultimately costly, reactive tools. This disjointed approach creates a vicious cycle of greater internal inefficiency and increased downtime for clients.
Available anywhere, cloud solutions allow businesses to enjoy proactive maintenance and support services, managing incidents and resolving problems quickly with minimal cost and impact to service providers. This simple and highly automated approach to remote management makes it easy to improve efficiency and reduce time costs dedicated to each service account, allowing managed service providers to expand without hiring new, specialised personnel, directly affecting the bottom line.
One of the major challenges companies face is the growing number of employees using mobile devices to access confidential business information. The loss or theft of one of these devices represents a serious breach of the company's security and may expose valuable data.
Cloud-based management allows companies to remotely manage their devices, adding an extra layer to the security of an organisation's information. Effective device management and endpoint security solutions work together to protect an organisation from potential threats, both online and offline. "The challenge is finding the right balance between administrative complexity and the level of security needed for adequate protection," says Matthews.
Panda Cloud Fusion (PCF) combines Panda Cloud Systems Management (PCSM) and Panda Cloud Office Protection (PCOP) to offer businesses a complete product, capable of protecting, managing and remotely supporting all devices. PCSM, a remote endpoint systems management solution, includes audit, configuration, patch and software distribution capabilities. Panda's advanced threat detection system, PCOP, ensures maximum security against malware and exploits that take advantage of unknown and unpatched vulnerabilities.
