only that , but not everyone is “ made ” for remote work . Some find coming to the office every day energizing , not draining . Every person has a different ideal mix of working in the office or working remotely , depending on their lifestyle , personality , and gifts . And I believe that the more diverse a group of people , the better the ideas are that emerge from their collaboration .
What I see coming out of all of this for the future is flexible work environments becoming the norm . How often an employee frequents the office will dictate their setup , those working a certain number of days in the office will have dedicated desks , and others will book shared workspaces . Perhaps more companies will enter into partnerships to share office real estate ( given the number of team members who work remotely ) and the office will turn into mostly a collaboration space . As we expand upon our technology offerings , we are holding this idea in mind . I see the transformation of how we work as a society coming and am looking forward to it — and I believe we will all be better off .

WHEN IT COMES TO PRINT SECURITY , WHY LEAVE THE DOOR OPEN WHEN YOU CAN LOCK IT ?

As cybersecurity attacks become more

sophisticated , organizations need to implement more policies beyond their firewall to protect themselves . The concept of “ Zero Trust ” was introduced back in 2010 by John Kindervag and is centered on the belief that an organization should not automatically trust anything outside or inside its perimeters . With human error being the leading cause of cybersecurity breaches , you need to have additional protections in place in case someone accidentally lets the bad guys into your network .
When it comes to printing devices , there are a lot of areas where your organization may be vulnerable if an insidious character finds their way beyond your firewall . HP frequently issues patches to address such vulnerabilities , but you won ’ t have these updates unless you are staying up to date with your firmware . While you may have tools to update your PCs automatically , you may not have the tools to keep your printers up to date .
That ’ s where someone like us comes in . Not only can we identify the printers for which you are missing key updates but we also have tools to perform the updates efficiently . Partnering with our team will allow you to close and lock one more door to keep cybercriminals from harming your company without breaking the bank or taking up too much of your team ’ s time .
