Proactive measures are required for securing access, networks, data, applications, and the perimeter. This is key to achieving the smarter workplace of the future. • Cyber-attacks result in compromised confidential information, network outages, and loss of control over essential computing resources. With the increase in digital applications, mobile users, process automation, and wireless network usage in workplaces, attack surfaces are increasing as well. Cyber attackers scan these surfaces for vulnerabilities which they can leverage to infiltrate, steal and abuse data and computing resources. Did you know ? 91% of enterprises have suffered a cyber-attack recently, out of which 9% were targeted attacks.

XaaS (Anything-as -a-Service) • Anything-as-a-Service (XaaS) is a cloud computing service that provides most of the key computing resources as services. Cloud computing technology is expected to be a key enabler of futuristic workplaces. This has made cloud services an integral participant in the SIXMIX framework. • Using key computing resources as services on demand offered by XaaS could enable enterprises to radically reduce IT expenses. Cloud delivers the flexibility to use essential resources, such as applications, storage, security and so on to be used and controlled from anywhere in the world to create global enterprises. 66% organizations are using cloud computing services to integrate technologies for futuristic business applications on a collaborative platform. Mobility • Adoption of concepts, such as ‘bring your own device’ (BYOD), ‘bring your own application’ (BYOA) and ‘bring your own anything’ (BYOX) is growing among leading enterprises. Using personal devices and applications will be the preferred working conditions in future workstations. • Allowing employees to use personal devices and applications of their choice will result in higher productivity. Enterprises on the other hand, can save on infrastructural expenses for IT.
