Business Success Depends on Remote Users: Can you help them?
Webinar
Written Transcript

The majority of users of IT work an increasing portion of time outside the office. Remote users face WAN-induced delays but want and need LAN-like performance when working, for example, in a hotel or airport. Remote access scenarios magnify organizational data risks imposed by problems such as the use of home computers with less robust defenses. And the IT department must support more computing platforms (as users choose to use their own mobile devices), while delivering applications both fast and in complete safety. This webinar discusses the growth of remote working, how to mitigate WAN-based performance problems, the security issues affecting the organization and introduces Blue Coat ProxyClient - a client application that can simultaneously deliver both WAN optimization and Web security to the remote user.
