In the past year, virtually every day has brought news of another debilitating ransomware attack. And, in many of those attacks, there were key lessons that can be applied to companies like yours. This article will recap five real-life impacts of recent ransomware attacks. It will also provide best practices you can follow to prevent your organization from becoming a potential victim.
In today’s remote or hybrid work environments, companies want technology that is secure, easy to use, and accessible from anywhere. And when it comes time to find the right technology, they turn to peer-to-peer review sites like G2, the world’s largest and most trusted software marketplace.
As Egnyte’s business and customer base grows, we have an engineering responsibility to provide data quickly and at high availability. In this blog I’ll recap one of those efforts—a proof-of-concept API caching project that serves our large folder listing capabilities and has future applications in other Egnyte services.
Co-development agreements are an important part of the negotiation process between companies that partner to develop, sell, or commercialize products and services. In life sciences, these contracts often contain sensitive data, including pharma alliance collaborations for drug treatment innovations, or healthcare software integrations to enable digital health interoperability.
Increasingly, life science companies are applying omics-based testing to clinical trials. These tests support precision medicine models for the study of rare cancers and other diseases. Genomics research tests, for example, can help account for diverse drug responses and outcomes caused by genetic differences in trial participants.
While we at Egnyte don’t think of ourselves as a storage company, the very act of storing files— billions and billions of them—is fundamental to what we do. Our customers need to secure, access, and share files, so storage is something we have to get right. Today we hardly think of what it takes to store and secure billions of these files, often taking this process for granted. It has become like the act of breathing—fundamental to existence yet rarely given a second thought.
The volume, variety, and velocity of data being collected in clinical trials is constantly increasing. It regularly surpasses what any one person or even a team of people can process, organize and monitor. Companies can no longer throw people at the problem, which is why many have turned to automation and AI to fill the gap.
One of the biggest societal trends of 2021 has been the “Great Resignation.” For a variety of reasons—including a robust job market and the ongoing impact of the global pandemic—an average of 3.8 million U.S. workers quit their jobs on a monthly basis so far this year. That’s on pace to be the highest resignation rate on record, and the trend recently expanded to include international locations, such as Germany and Denmark.
Ransomware is on the rise and shows no signs of slowing. In the past year alone, major ransomware attacks have hit just about every major industry, including health care, physical infrastructure, digital infrastructure, and food. It’s no longer a matter of if, but when an organization will be attacked, which is why most companies now spend considerable resources to defend against ransomware attacks.
Egnyte recently launched its free, interactive Data Governance Test Drive, which lets you experience the platform for yourself. Test Drive spotlights key capabilities of Egnyte,.
