Need for the Solution:

Disruptive use of technology is been useful and blissful in this challenging time. Because of the COVID-19 pandemic, there was a drastic increase in the number of users working from home. Giving similar user experience to users when they access internal applications, at the same time managing the same consistent security to access internal application was challenging and tough due to short time and uncertainty.

Challenges:

As most of the users were working from the home, the key area to installing agent on the end users laptop and making sure that all the internal applications are working fine. We also had to ensure that the user should get the same corporate internet policy while they work on the company devices.

Getting reshaped with Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning Technology

 The core challenge was to get integrated with the AI-Based SIEM Solutions which works on the Machine Learning Security Patterns. As a solution, we provided was Cloud base solution and they had an on-prem SIEM solution which was on their physical DC.
