Solutions like Multi-Factor Authentication can help safeguard businesses against vulnerabilities

Joyjeet Bose, Senior Vice President - Tata Teleservices

“Businesses are undergoing massive digital transformation to adjust to contemporary market situations. Hybrid working has taken precedence, further increasing flexibility and accessibility of company data anywhere and on any device. However, as employees work outside the secured perimeter, this makes potential cybersecurity vulnerabilities more common especially due to an ever-changing threat environment. A classic example of this would be phishing practices with employees where confidential data is breached.  Thus, to safeguard businesses, it is important to turn to fast and easy solutions like Multi-Factor Authentication that help create an additional layer of user verification and reduce e-risks. Also, enhancing employees' knowledge and awareness of safe and secure cybersecurity practices is now imperative and companies need to spend more on employee upskilling. 

However, for many enterprises especially SMBs, limited knowledge and lack of resources remain a crucial problem when it comes to taking care of their ICT and security needs.  Therefore, they always look for a cost effective all in one solution that is nimble, capex and asset light and easy to install on ‘pay as you go’ model. We believe that the SMBs in India are poised for phenomenal growth and the onus lies with technology providers like us to develop relevant solutions at the right price point to support SMBs in their transformation journey. To this effect, we have introduced innovative smart tech solutions like ‘Smart Internet’ that enables SMBs to get robust connectivity, security, manageability, and clear visibility of their users and network.”
