The workplace environment continues its rapid evolution, as many businesses have begun mandating a partial return to the office, thus elevating the hybrid approach as the primary workplace model. However, establishing secure and robust networks that connect dispersed workforces is still proving to be a significant challenge with many enterprises not realizing loads of unlocked potential in both security and performance.
With generative text programs and image generators doing things many never thought possible, many industry leaders have focused on the application of AI technologies in content creation. Unfortunately, there is a darker application for artificial intelligence technologies. Ultimately, these complex systems are tools, and – like any tool – they can do a lot of damage in the wrong hands. In no place is that truer than in the practice of cybersecurity.
Do you trust your network? Performance may be in an optimal place, and workplace operations are thankful for that. But what about security? ‘Zero Trust’ is a practice every IT leader and decision maker should be educated on as more and more organizations have realized that all attacks don’t originate from the other side of the firewall. Attacks can be launched from anywhere, including within the network itself. Network administrators must always operate under the assumption that their network has already been breached. And sadly, for some reading this article, that may be the case.
In the era of remote working cybersecurity risks, evolving IoT, increased cloud services, and revolving ransomware, businesses require reliable IT infrastructure to protect their data and ensure continuity of operations. According to Veeam's 2023 Trends In Data Protection report, 79% of IT leaders see a “Protection Gap” between tolerable data loss and how IT protects their data. Addressing this gap usually involves an upgrade of various disaster recovery services for production and protection. To tackle this concern, enterprises are better off subscribing to Disaster Recovery as-a-Service (DRaaS) rather than traditional disaster recovery solutions for cost efficiency, scalability, and reliability.
Delivering a personalized and efficient shopping experience to customers is crucial in today's competitive retail landscape. Whether customers are shopping online or offline, achieving this goal requires retail organizations to take experience-first networking strategies. To successfully create this in a hybrid cloud era, retailers must meet these four key requirements:
Enterprises face significant challenges when it comes to managing routine activities such as DDI (DNS, DHCP, IPAM), network reporting, and auditing efficiently and cost-effectively. Additionally, reliance on a handful of individuals with expertise in DDI management forces organizations to monopolize the valuable time of these experts, leaving less time for strategic projects.
It’s been a wild ride the past three years, and our team has learned an awful lot about the transformative power of digital technology and the exploitable vulnerability that it introduces. Here are some examples:
IT professionals understand the significance of a secure IT infrastructure, and one of WEI's longtime partners continues doing their part to help clients with cybersecurity. Dell's next-generation PowerEdge servers implement a seven-pillar approach to cyber resiliency, meeting the U.S. Department of Defense standards for Zero Trust. This ensures thorough verification of every aspect of your IT environment, providing cyber resiliency and safeguarding data against malicious attacks, offering peace of mind for not only your IT team, but the entire organization it supports.
Enterprise IT teams are asked to do more with less, every day. Staffing for one part of the team may be sufficient while it lacks in another, which leaves IT leaders scrambling to fill critical talent gaps. Recruitment campaigns can be expensive and often leads to wasted interviews, further delaying progress.
As a forward-thinking technology solutions provider, WEI stands ready to help with your IT staffing woes. Our scalable IT Staff Augmentation Services are designed to help IT leaders fill the talent gaps in the most critical areas, quickly. Our team has also recently launched a Technical Apprenticeship For Diverse Candidates service where IT leaders can hire and develop upcoming IT talent.

In today's digital landscape, managing computing infrastructure has become an increasingly complex and challenging task. As more businesses move their data and applications to the cloud, concerns around cloud security and compliance have become increasingly prevalent. Public cloud providers, such as Amazon Web Services (AWS), Microsoft Azure and Google Cloud Platform (GCP), offer a range of security features and tools to protect their customers' data. Despite these efforts, breaches may occur and businesses face limitations of liabilities from third-party providers in such events. One solution that addresses these concerns originates from HPE GreenLake.
