MFA Is Not a Priority, Until It Is 

AT&T and United Health Group join a growing list of companies with hacks traced to the absence of one particular measure:

Multi-factor Authentication (MFA) 🔒

With the increase in cyber-attacks and no corporate network to protect us, more and more password lists are being exposed around the globe.

This helps bad actors to more easily gain access to systems.

Multi-factor authentication helps prevent malware, phishing and ransomware attacks by requiring secondary authentication to verify the user's identity beyond the point of password entry.

Evolve IP's customers are re-evaluating their legacy MFA and implementing next-gen MFA, powered by Cisco Duo for:

▪ Protection & Productivity: Protect against data breaches due to weak/stolen passwords.

▪ Complete Coverage & Seamless Integration: Eliminate any gaps in their perimeter with easy to use integrations that bring all applications and operations under one secure roof.

▪ Speed to Security & Deployment: Launch new protections quickly and smoothly, without burning through your IT team or their budget.

One of the main driving forces for Private Equity firms is mergers and acquisitions (M&A) driven activity.

Any organization that is looking for M&A based growth is looking to do so as:

◼ cost-effectively, efficiently & quickly as possible with

◼ minimal downtime and minimal interruption to the business that they're acquiring

That’s where modern virtual desktops come in. It enables organizations to acquire new companies quickly and easily bring users into the new internal systems

✔ It SIMPLIFIES that path to MIGRATION

✔ It Introduces a PREDICTABLE COST MODEL

Sure, there may still be things on the back end that have to get migrated into the new environment such as:

➖ Server architecture or infrastructure that has to come across

➖ Data that still has to migrate in

➖ Applications that still have to make the jump from company A to company B

But you can IMMEDIATELY on Day 1:

✅ Provision all users in the newly acquired organization with a DaaS seat

✅ Have all employees up and running on their new organization’s systems right from the very first minute that they're working under that new reality

Couple all of this with the fact that DaaS enables organizations to predict the exact cost of users and remove uncertainties that come with traditional technologies

For instance, if you’re going to acquire a 100-user practice tomorrow, you will need:

◼ 100 DaaS seats

◼ 100 Office 365 / Microsoft 365 licenses

◼ Possibly Microsoft Teams, UCaaS or a Contact Center solution

So, if a DaaS seat costs X, Office 365 license costs Y and contact center solution costs Z:

( X+Y+Z ) × number of users = Total cost of acquisition

Now, the cost of merger & acquisition from a technology perspective is predictable whether you're acquiring five users or 5,000 users

DaaS not only speeds up onboarding and simplifies the migration of an acquired or merged organization but makes the cost impact analysis much easier on the front end.
