COVID-19 has permanently changed work cultures and organizational structures across the country. Many workers have adjusted to remote life after nearly nine months of working from home, and many are enjoying the prospect of never needing to go into an office again. There are even signs of housing booms in formerly undesirable areas now that physical location no longer influences buying decisions.

Bring-your-own-device, or BYOD, is a workplace policy that allows employees to do work from devices that are not supplied by the company. Smartphones, personal computers, tablets, and other devices that can run necessary applications and software have all blurred the line between professional and personal life in a number of ways. In this post, we’ll explore both the benefits and drawbacks of BYOD in the workplace.

If you would like to learn more about how CyberlinkASP’s cloud and desktop hosting services can make your company’s BYOD policy just as safe and secure as in-office work, contact our team to request a free consultation and software demo!

Six Surprising Facts About BYOD

1. BYOD is extremely profitable. Companies that allow employees to use their own devices enjoy approximately 240 hours of extra work per employee each year.
2. Nearly 95% of businesses now allow BYOD in one form or another. The companies that don’t typically have security concerns and provide employees with company-owned devices.
3. Support still lags behind popularity. Although the majority of companies allow BYOD, Crowd Research found that 50% of surveyed employees hadn’t received any instructions or information about a formal policy.
4. That doesn’t mean that IT departments aren’t on board, though. A number of different studies, including one from Cisco, found that 69% of critical IT employees agreed that BYOD policies are a good move.
5. Despite concerns, BYOD actually increases productivity. One study from Samsung Insights found that, on average, employees who used smartphones to support their workflow were 34% more productive than those who didn’t.
6. The cost of BYOD problems can be significant. In 2012, a doctor who lost a laptop filled with sensitive information cost his company approximately $1.5 million in fines.

The Final Word

It’s clear that BYOD policies aren’t going anywhere. They’re good for business, good for employees, and are already so popular that it would be nearly impossible to put the genie back in the bottle.

If your company allows BYOD in one form or another, it’s important to make sure that your entire operation is streamlined and secured. A hosted virtual desktop is one of the best ways to provide a consistent and secure operating environment to all of your employees, and CyberlinkASP has solutions for businesses in a variety of different verticals. We make it easy for your employees to access critical information and applications safely and securely, all at a low monthly rate that reduces your IT costs and grows your bottom line.

We would love the opportunity to learn more about how your company has implemented a BYOD policy and explain how our desktop and cloud hosting services will benefit your day-to-day operations.

Did you know that approximately 30% of workers admit to reusing personal account passwords at work? Even among workers who choose to use unique passwords on the job, many still reuse them multiple times. And no matter how complex your employees’ passwords are, they might not be a match for sophisticated hackers and other malicious software.

The underlying point is that although complex passwords were once an iron-clad security measure, they’re now more similar to a padlock that can be bypassed by determined intruders. Multi-factor authentication (MFA) offers an easy-to-implement solution that vastly improves security, but many companies haven’t yet implemented it into their security measures. Below, we’ll explain what MFA is, how it works, and address several common concerns employers have about implementing it.

At CyberlinkASP, we take security seriously. Our cloud and desktop hosting solutions are designed to keep all of your organization’s data safe and secure, no matter the kind of work you do or the locations from which your employees work. Contact our team for a free, no-risk software demo, and read on to learn more about the benefits of multi-factor authentication!

What Is Multi-Factor Authentication?

At its most basic level, multi-factor authentication is an extra security step used to verify that the user attempting to access a given system is authorized to do so. This typically involves accessing another user-authorized account, answering a pre-set security question, or using biometric elements. One of the most common examples of multi-factor authentication that you’ve probably experienced is the process of receiving a text message from your bank before you can log into your account.

Why Are Some Companies Concerned About Multi-Factor Authentication?

Although multi-factor authentication typically adds just seconds to the login process, there are two primary reasons why some companies have been slow to adopt it: perceived complexity and an unwillingness to explore the options.

As far as the former is concerned, multi-factor authentication quickly becomes part of the sign-on process for current employees and adds a minimal amount of time to the login process; the latter can be easily solved by offloading security concerns to an experienced company like CyberlinkASP that can help your company implement multi-factor authentication without disrupting your day-to-day operations.

It’s also worth considering whether the “hassle” of bypassing one extra security field is more stressful than dealing with a significant data breach that goes public and puts your company at risk of legal trouble.

The Bottom Line

No business is exempt from cyber attacks. Both large and small businesses are targeted frequently, and malicious third parties are only getting more sophisticated in their abilities to bypass security measures. Passwords are still a necessary security measure, but they’re no longer sufficient to provide peace of mind when the stakes are high.

At CyberlinkASP, we provide cloud and desktop hosting that keeps your organization’s data safe and secure. We offer 24/7 network and security monitoring, a 100% data recovery rate, and dedicated support whenever you need it.

2020 has been a difficult year for almost every business, but small businesses have been hit by the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic particularly hard. Your small business needs every advantage it can get, and that’s why today’s post is dedicated to helping you learn more about desktop-as-a-service (DaaS) and how it can help your business.

CyberlinkASP provides reliable and affordable cloud and desktop hosting services for a variety of industries — contact us to learn more about how we’re improving businesses just like yours!

Simplification

As a small business owner, you know just how important it is to streamline and simplify your processes. Unnecessary complexity introduces inefficiencies, which in turn eat into your budget and prevent you from reinvesting in and further growing your business. DaaS allows small business owners to simplify their IT infrastructure and reduce the time it takes to set up, maintain, and scale their technology.

Lower Operating Costs

Although technology has become more affordable in recent years, the up-front investments required to get a business off the ground can be significant, and even prohibitive. Because desktop-as-a-service provides you with applications as well as remote servers, you’ll never have to worry about investing in hardware, storage rooms, and all of the concomitant problems that come with owning your own technology infrastructure. You’ll still need to invest in some technology, of course, but some businesses are finding that they’ve cut their IT budgets by nearly 50% just by switching to DaaS.

Flexible Payment Options

In addition to reducing the costs associated with maintaining and growing an IT infrastructure, an investment in DaaS is also typically much less than the cost of the latest software and applications your team needs. Purchasing DaaS allows you to invest in only what you and your team need to succeed.

Flexibility for Employees

Almost every business that can work remotely is currently doing so. Some companies are still adjusting to the changes and challenges that come from such a large shift, but others have embraced it indefinitely due to the flexibility it provides for employees. Workers who are allowed to work remotely report higher job satisfaction, are less likely to take sick days, and are more productive when they can structure their days in a way that works for them.

However, access to critical files and information is one of the biggest challenges still facing businesses of every size, and it’s one problem that DaaS is able to solve with ease. DaaS provides your staff with streamlined access to all of the applications and files they need throughout the day, minimizing downtime and hiccups due to accessibility issues.

Security

If your employees are accessing files and information remotely, it’s important to make sure that they’re able to do so securely. DaaS is one of the best ways to keep your workforce’s data secure, as it’s stored off-device in our cloud. This means that if a device is misplaced or you have power issues at your physical location, none of your data will be affected.

If you’re like most employees who are still adjusting to remote work nine months after the COVID-19 pandemic changed organizational structures across the country, then you’ve probably noticed that meetings aren’t what they used to be.

Spaces without intrusions from children, pets, and ambient noise can be difficult to find, leading many workers to retreat to bedrooms, patios, and other locations that aren’t as distracting. Moreover, many companies are still using phone-only call services, leading to poor engagement and information retention.

In this post, we’re going to discuss a few ways to make working from home work for your company. Contact CyberlinkASP to learn more about how cloud and desktop hosting could help your team become even more efficient!

Three Ways to Make Home Meetings More Professional

Invest in a Headset

Whether you already have a headset or you’re still waiting to buy one, a good headset is often the difference between a great meeting and a meeting derailed by echos, low-quality audio, and “you cut out, can you say that again?”

Dialing into a meeting requires the use of low-bandwidth audio transmission, which can cause problems for everyone at the meeting. Relying on built-in microphones can also put your meetings at risk of a feedback loop in which anything that’s said by other speakers is repeated back through your mic.

Keep in mind that many wireless headphones have built-in microphones that are just as good as dedicated headsets. If you’ve been considering a new pair of noise-cancelling headphones to drown out distractions in your home, you now have an opportunity to kill two birds with one stone.

Turn Your Camera On

If your company hasn’t already made video mandatory for meetings, take the lead and turn your meeting platform’s video feature on. Meetings are supposed to be a place of listening and collaboration, but the distant nature of remote calls can make it easy to tune out the speaker and wait until the call ends.

Before you turn your camera on, however, make sure that you give your webcam a test run to make sure that your background is acceptable for work. Close bathroom doors, make your bed if you’re working from your bedroom, and try to minimize the number of people walking behind you if possible. If reasons like these are one reason why you haven’t turned your camera on, why not try to find a fun-yet-professional background you can use?

Give Meetings Your Undivided Attention

As we noted above, it’s easy for many people to tune meetings out when they aren’t held responsible for paying attention. Some platforms, including Zoom, allow presenters to see whether or not their participants are using other applications while they speak. If you normally take notes during meetings, find another device to take them on so that the program doesn’t flag you as unengaged.

That said, the best tip we can give you is to treat virtual meetings the same as in-person ones. Give the speaker your full attention, ask questions, and respect the time that you’ve set aside.

Pharmaceutical companies across the nation are navigating complex and difficult security challenges. In addition to helping some or all of the workforce switch to remote work, many companies are stepping up their security measures as they work to meet or exceed stringent industry standards and keep sensitive information safe. In this post, we’ll discuss several of the most pressing security issues that many organizations in the pharmaceutical field are facing and explain the solutions offered by CyberlinkASP.

If your pharmaceutical company is looking for action-oriented solutions that are scalable, boost productivity, and provide you with cutting-edge security, contact our team to request a free, no-risk demo of our software.

Is Your Pharmaceutical Company Facing These Challenges?

Outdated Software

Many companies have been using the same software for years, and it’s easy to understand why. Investing in new programs often requires overhauling processes, which in turn leads to short-term inefficiencies and can cost quite a bit in terms of time and money. However, allowing your workforce to use outdated software (or different versions of the same software) can come with security risks and reduce their ability to collaborate effectively.

A virtual desktop provides everyone in your organization with uniform access to up-to-date applications and top-of-the-line security features. Moreover, you and your team do not have to update it manually — we take care of the heavy lifting so that you can continue developing products that help people around the world.

Bring Your Own Device (BYOD)

If some, or all, of your workforce is now working remotely, you need to make sure that each and every device they use has the same level of security that you expect in the office. Although it’s incredibly convenient for everyone in your office to be able to work from a laptop at the airport or somewhere else, it’s also important to ensure that the sensitive information they’re accessing isn’t falling into the wrong hands.

Given that more than 12,000 laptops are lost in airports each year and even more phones are left in restaurants and other public places, it makes sense to make the switch to a service that offloads all of your data from devices and stores it in a completely secure location. If a device is lost or stolen, all of your data will remain on our secure server and your company will only lose the hardware.

System Failures

No matter how much time, effort, and money you’ve put into your IT infrastructure, glitches and breaches can occur. Cloud hosting mitigates the effects of hardware problems by keeping all of your data in a protected off-site location. If there is a breach or problem that causes you to lose data, you’ll remain protected by our team’s 24/7 monitoring and our 100% data retrieval guarantee.

If you would like to learn more about how CyberlinkASP can help you navigate all of these challenges along with many others, get in touch with our team. We’ve helped large and small pharmaceutical companies across the country optimize their operations and defend sensitive information from a variety of risks.

We look forward to speaking with you.

Technology has always changed at a rapid pace, and 2020 has seen a dramatic increase of challenges caused by many offices switching to hybrid or fully remote models.

Virtual desktop hosting offers a number of effective solutions, but many organizations are still skeptical about making the switch. In this post, we’ll answer five questions we hear about virtual desktops on a regular basis. If you have any additional questions about how virtual desktops and cloud hosting could benefit your organization, please reach out to the CyberlinkASP team. We offer free, no-risk demos and would be happy to help you understand just how much of a difference our services can make.

Five Common Questions About Virtual Desktops

What Is Virtual Desktop Hosting?

As the name suggests, virtual desktop hosting moves your applications and other computation-heavy tasks to a remote server. This means that your company no longer needs to continue investing in on-site servers, which can be extremely expensive to maintain. The day-to-day experience is exactly the same as a traditional desktop — all of the applications you and your employees need are available and ready for use.

Can a Virtual Desktop Help Me Save Money?

Yes! As we briefly mentioned above, a virtual desktop allows you to offload the computation-heavy aspects of your operation to our servers, which means that the technology you’ve invested in is much more likely to last longer and operate more efficiently. If you’re running a startup company or you’re simply looking to control the ballooning costs of managing your workforce’s current IT infrastructure, a virtual desktop service is a smart choice.

My Employees Are Now Working Remotely. How Can Virtual Desktops Help?

Although many workforces have now been working remotely for most of the year, it can still be a challenge to ensure that every employee has the tools and resources they need to work just as efficiently from home as they did in the office. Because virtual desktops can be accessed from anywhere, anytime, and from virtually any device, your employees instantly have the ability to access all of the data and applications they need. If they have a device and internet connection, they’ll be able to log on and get to work.

Are Virtual Desktops Reliable?

Virtual desktops aren’t just reliable — they’re often more reliable than traditional hardware. An unexpected breakdown or outage can be devastating to operations of any size, but virtual desktops provide an IT infrastructure that is much less likely to break down and force your team to pause their work. From network updates, installations, troubleshooting, and other factors that would normally put a freeze on productivity, virtual desktops help you maximize uptime. In fact, CyberlinkASP guarantees 99% uptime!

Are Virtual Desktops as Secure as On-Site Technology?

Yes, virtual desktops are just as secure as on-site technology. In many cases, they’re actually more secure. Consider the fact that more than 12,000 laptops are lost in airports across the country each and every year. With more companies working remotely full-time, this presents even more opportunities for critical data and sensitive information to fall into the wrong hands. Virtual desktops provide the hardware on which the virtual desktops are hosted, which means that the individual machine doesn’t physically have any sensitive information stored on it.

Moreover, virtual desktops create a smaller internal network, which makes continuous monitoring much easier. Each machine is also more independent, which means that even if an individual machine is compromised, the attack or breach will be much easier to contain.

At Cyberlink, we proudly offer some of the most advanced security features on the market as well as a 100% data recovery guarantee. If something goes wrong, you can rest assured that our team will be able to fix it right away.

Accounting requires careful attention to detail and precision, but common problems such as data accessibility and reduced employee collaboration can make it difficult for your organization to deliver the quality of work your clients deserve. In this post, we’ll discuss several challenges many accounting departments and firms across the country face before turning our attention toward the solutions offered by CyberlinkASP.

As you’ll learn in more detail below, CyberlinkASP’s desktop and cloud hosting services are tailored to the needs of accounting firms of any size and can be easily implemented into your organization. Learn more below and contact our team to request a free, no-obligation demo.

Is Your Accounting Firm Facing These Challenges?

Uniform Compliance

Accounting firms and departments are subject to strict compliance requirements that are both difficult and expensive to implement, especially when it comes to technology. In addition to understanding current compliance requirements and ensuring that each and every program and process is in compliance, you need to ensure that your organization is in a position to adapt to changing standards and requirements.

At Cyberlink, we’re proud to be an SSAE 18 compliant company. We meet or exceed the standards set by the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants (AICPA) and can help your organization do the same.

Application and Data Accessibility

Is your staff working remotely? Whether you implemented a work-from-home model before the pandemic or you were forced to pivot this spring, ensuring that your employees can securely access crucial applications and data from anywhere has never been more crucial.

Many desktop and cloud hosting companies offer services designed to increase accessibility, but none can do it as efficiently and securely as CyberlinkASP. We take client security seriously and have a team working 24/7 to protect our clients’ data and alert them if attacks or intrusions occur.

Employee Collaboration

Many firms and departments deal with large, complex problems that require the input of multiple teams. If your team is having trouble collaborating due to differences in software, accessibility, or another technological challenge, CyberlinkASP can help. Our virtual desktops can be designed in a way that provides each team member with access to critical information, necessary applications, and everything else they need to focus on completing their projects.

IT Maintenance Costs

Although the costs of operation scale with any business’s growth, IT is likely responsible for a large percentage of your short- and long-term expenditures. If you reduce the amount of money you spend on IT, you could find yourself facing threats such as data loss, third-party intrusion, and workflow inefficiencies resulting from old and outdated technology. However, you could choose to invest in CyberlinkASP’s desktop and cloud hosting services in order to upgrade your security and reap the benefits discussed above.

If you’re ready to experience our virtual desktop hosting and cloud hosting services for yourself, contact our team for a free, no-risk demo. Our team will walk you through your options and help you understand just how many challenges we can help you overcome.

Growth is part of every long-term business strategy, but many business owners are shocked to discover just how much it can cost to invest in, scale, and maintain an efficient IT infrastructure.

Desktop and cloud hosting offer an easy and effective way to reduce costs and boost efficiency, but many people aren’t familiar with the numerous benefits of switching to the cloud. In this post, we’ll discuss why companies in a wide variety of industries are choosing to make the switch to CyberlinkASP. Contact our team if you would like to learn more about what we can do for you!

Four Reasons to Work With CyberlinkASP

Versatility

Many desktop and cloud hosting companies aren’t equipped to offer anything except a one-size-fits-all solution that doesn’t accurately address their clients’ needs. At CyberlinkASP, we’ve developed innovative solutions for virtually every industry that can be scaled to an organization’s needs. Some of the industries we serve include:

• Healthcare
• Finance
• Medical Supply
• Legal
• Logistics
• Pharmaceutical
• Other Small Businesses

IT Budget Savings

As we briefly mentioned at the outset, growing and managing your IT infrastructure can quickly become a time sink and a financial burden. It also puts many business owners in a lose-lose situation in which they can stretch their budget to accommodate IT needs or make do with old and outdated machinery and applications that ultimately cause inefficiencies and are often less secure than top-of-the-line options.

Choosing to invest in a hosted desktop infrastructure can eliminate much of the excess hardware and software overhead required to grow a business. In fact, an estimate from the International Data Corporation suggests that it can reduce hardware-related costs by up to 56% annually!

Complete Compliance

No matter which industry you serve, making sure that you’re in compliance with all of the relevant rules and regulations is one of the most important things you can do to protect your clients and your own business. You could certainly meet with a compliance specialist, but piecemeal solutions are often expensive and require you to reinvest each time compliance standards change. CyberlinkASP handles compliance measures as a part of all of our services, allowing you to offload compliance concerns to a company you’ve already trusted to handle the infrastructure that’s being regulated.

Unparalleled Support

CyberlinkASP doesn’t just offer exceptional services — we offer exceptional customer support, too. We have an always-on team ready to handle questions, concerns, emergencies, and anything else that comes up during the course of your day. We want our clients to feel confident in their decision to work with us, and we know that you’ll be impressed with just how dedicated our team is from the moment you give us a call.

As technology becomes increasingly advanced and easier to use anytime, anywhere, the risks of having your data dispersed throughout a mobile workforce increase, too. If your accounting firm is working remotely or now has a hybrid infrastructure, you’ve almost certainly given thought to how you can keep sensitive information safe. In this post, we’ll discuss four security threats that many accounting firms and departments are either facing now or will face at some point in the future.

As we’ll explain in more detail below, desktop and cloud hosting through CyberlinkASP is a cost-effective way to solve all of these security threats and provide your organization with a number of other competitive advantages, too. Contact our team for a free demo, and read on to learn more about security threats that could have serious consequences for your company.

Is Your Firm Or Department Facing These Issues?

Remote Access and Lost Devices

Many businesses that can work remotely are now doing so. Although it’s yet to be seen whether many employees will return to the office in the future, making sure that your employees can safely and securely access their data is essential right now. You probably have a virtual private network (VPN) in place, but what would happen if an employee were to leave their machine in public or accidentally accessed sensitive information outside of the VPN?

These aren’t just hypothetical scenarios — more than 12,000 laptops are left in airports across the nation every year, and many more phones are left in bathrooms, restaurants, and other public places. Data loss is a real and growing problem, but a virtual desktop can provide an easy and effective way to mitigate the loss. If a device is lost, you’re only losing the machine. All of the sensitive information is hosted in the cloud instead of on the device, greatly reducing the risk of sensitive client information or internal accounting information falling into the wrong hands.

Data Loss

No matter how many measures you take, glitches, breaches, and other unexpected problems happen to the most risk-averse companies. There’s no such thing as a 100% foolproof system, but you can get closer to 100% when you choose to invest in cloud hosting. When your data is stored off-site and backed up in multiple locations, your data is never truly lost and can be restored quickly by our team.

Increasing Prices

Although increasing prices aren’t a security threat in and of themselves, they are a threat to your company’s bottom line and your ability to continually reinvest in your operation. If your IT budget is ballooning as your workforce grows, investing in virtual desktop and cloud hosting is a cost-effective solution that can save you a significant amount of money in the long run. In addition to reducing the cost of purchasing and updating the software your accounting firm or department uses on a daily basis, the machines you’ve already purchased will see much less wear and tear and are likely to last much longer than they otherwise would.

If your accounting firm or department is facing these security issues, contact CyberlinkASP to learn more about how we can help. We offer a free-no-risk demo and would be happy to help you understand how we can address your specific needs.

No matter what field you work in, it’s a safe assumption that some — or perhaps all — of your work depends on technology in one form or another. Between high maintenance requirements, the cost of upgrades, and other challenges, it’s easy for essential technology to become more of a hindrance than a help.

Cloud hosting your organization’s desktops and applications is one of the best ways to overcome these challenges and preempt many others. In this post, we’ll look at five of the most important benefits of investing in desktop and cloud hosting.

If you would like to learn more about how CyberlinkASP can help your organization reap the benefits of cloud hosting, please contact our team for a free, no-obligation demo.

Five Reasons to Invest in Cloud Hosting for Your Business

Data Recovery and Storage

Whether your organization is large or small, few things will set you back as much as the loss of critical data. Operator errors, third-party attacks, faulty equipment, and other unseen mishaps can all cause serious and long-lasting problems for your organization. Moreover, addressing every possible concern isn’t just a logistical issue — it can be extremely expensive.

Although many desktop and cloud hosting companies do not offer data storage and recovery options, CyberlinkASP does. When you choose to use our virtual desktop hosting solution, you’ll benefit from our innovative data storage, backup, and recovery solutions.

Flexibility for Your Workforce

The COVID-19 pandemic has affected every workplace in one way or another. If your company has switched to a fully or partially remote work model, it’s important to ensure that your employees have the tools they need to work just as effectively as they can in the office.

Virtual desktop hosting allows you to provide just that. No matter where your employees choose to work, they’ll be able to access the data and applications they need whenever and wherever they are. Their devices will also be fully and uniformly protected due to our state-of-the-art security measures. If you’ve ever worried about an employee’s device being compromised, you can rest easy knowing that desktop hosting provides an effective solution.

Reduced Downtime

If efficiency is a cornerstone of your business, then you need to ensure that downtime is minimized in every possible way. Downtime is always inevitable due to IT maintenance demands and unforeseen issues, but each minute of downtime has a price tag that can add up quickly. When you make the investment in desktop and cloud hosting, you’re investing in reduced downtime and the convenience of allowing another company to update and manage your software for you.

Improved Security

Protecting your data has never been more important. It’s never been more difficult, either. As we briefly discussed above, internal, external, and environmental threats can all put sensitive data at risk and leave a potentially permanent mark on your company’s name.

Allowing another company to access your data is a decision that shouldn’t be made lightly, but we think that we’ve made it easy to choose our team over the competition. Our clients’ data is protected by firewalls, two-factor authentication, virus detection software, and other leading security measures. Moreover, we offer around-the-clock monitoring in order to keep your data protected from attacks. Our ability to alert you and respond quickly could be the difference between a minor inconvenience and a major security breach.

Expert Support

An investment in desktop and cloud hosting is, on the surface, an investment in the services we provide, but it’s also about much more. You’re investing in convenience, expertise, and peace of mind. We hand-select our team members and are proud to have some of the most talented people in the industry under our roof. This means that if you ever have questions, concerns, or just need to talk to someone about an idea you have, you’ll be able to get the help you need in a timely manner. We take pride in our customer support and are always looking for ways to improve our clients’ experience.

Law firms and legal departments are facing a number of unique challenges that have arisen as more and more business is conducted virtually. In this post, we’ll discuss three common security threats your organization is either facing now or will face in the future.

As you’ll learn in more detail below, it’s crucial for your entire firm to be running safe and secure software that provides you with unparalleled protection and peace of mind. CyberlinkASP’s virtual desktop and cloud hosting services offer a 100% uptime guarantee as well as 24/7 monitoring from a dedicated team. Request a free demo from our team, and read on to learn more about threats and vulnerabilities that your organization could be facing.

Three Common Security Threats

Data Breaches

Think about the companies you associate with data breaches — how many of them have recovered? Although some companies do recover after losing sensitive data to malicious third parties, many close their doors or suffer the effects of a tarnished reputation long after the incident occurred.

At CyberlinkASP, we take data protection seriously. In addition to state-of-the-art security features such as bulletproof glass, kevlar-impregnated drywall, and 256-bit encryption protecting our physical locations, we offer a number of advanced security features that can be seamlessly integrated into our virtual desktops.

Unsecured Devices

Known colloquially as BYOD (bring your own device), many legal departments and firms allow their staff to work from their laptops, tablets, phones, and other devices in addition to or in lieu of company-provided ones. Unfortunately, no matter how well you’ve secured your in-house equipment, you simply can’t account for the vulnerabilities of each and every device your employees use for work without seeking outside help. No matter where, when, or how your team chooses to work, CyberlinkASP’s virtual desktop hosting can ensure that every device they use is benefitting from the same state-of-the-art security measures.

Client Expectations

Although this isn’t technically a security threat, it is a threat to your organization’s ability to grow and remain at the top of the competition. Clients want to know that their data is protected, and you need to be able to show them that you’ve taken every possible precaution to protect their sensitive information. If you don’t, you risk losing them to a competitor who does.

If you choose CyberlinkASP for your desktop and cloud hosting, you’ll be able to convey that we offer around-the-clock monitoring, two-factor authentication, secure firewalls, and other premium security features you won’t find anywhere else.

Four Challenges in the Pharmaceutical Industry

Unreliable Technology

The pandemic has pushed more and more companies to take their operations online, but much of the pre-pandemic work was done on and stored in some form of on-site technology. Keeping applications and hardware up-to-date when your entire team is remote can be both burdensome and expensive, but a failure to do so will result in unreliable technology and inefficiencies at every level of the organization.

At CyberlinkASP, we take reliability seriously. If you choose to use our cloud hosting services, you’ll benefit from 99% guaranteed uptime and fully up-to-date software that you and your team can depend on. Many pharmaceutical companies have never been busier — don’t let yours get slowed down by technological hurdles.

Reduced Employee Collaboration

You have some of the best and brightest minds in the industry within your organization, but they need to be able to collaborate effectively in order to develop new and creative solutions. If your employees are working using different programs (or different versions of the same program), operating systems, or technology with varying degrees of capability, you can almost guarantee that their ability to work together and collaborate has been affected.

The pandemic is only making the dividing lines between workers more apparent within companies that haven’t invested in technology that encourages collaboration. At CyberlinkASP, we provide virtual desktop hosting that provides each system with the same software and the ability to access it anytime, anywhere. No matter where your employees are, they’ll be able to work just as effectively with each other as they did in the office.

Logistics and Planning

Planning has become anything but simple in 2020, especially in the pharmaceutical industry. You need real-time access to your inventory and instant updates about your supply chain and shipping times in order to avoid delays, shortages, and other problems. Working with a separate company to manage your inventory and other logistics isn’t just inefficient — it’s expensive. We understand the needs of pharmaceutical companies and have built everything you need to understand and track your products, inventory, supply chain, and more.

Reactive Security Measures

Many security measures are, unfortunately, more reactive than proactive. At Cyberlink, we believe that the best defense is a good offense and offer 24/7 monitoring for your peace of mind. We’re dedicated to stop breaches before they happen and will provide you with real-time updates if any of your data is at risk of being compromised.
