San Jose, Calif., May 27, 2020 Next week at the CiscoLive! digital event, Cisco will unveil the latest updates to its Cisco Designed portfolio including support for five of small businesses biggest technology challenges. As companies look towards different forms of limited reopening they are adapting to the next normal and technology will play a key role in supporting new ways of doing business. According to a National Small Business Association survey of over 980 small businesses, between March and April the number of business owners and their employees working remotely has doubled, a trend that is widely expected to continue. Small businesses are increasingly becoming a target of hackers so it's no surprise security has become the top small business IT concern. In addition to securely enabling a remote workforce, Cisco and its partners are committed to supporting small businesses in the following areas.
Work from home: how to meet and collaborate with employees and customers securely
Cybercrime protection: how to safeguard from identity theft, hackers and internet attacks
Always-on business: how to provide easy installation and reliable IT services using cloud technology
Workplace monitoring: how to enable safe social distancing and real time monitoring
Future or new office: how to improve productivity and security at shared physical workspaces
Small businesses are investing in mobility because it contributes to cost savings, increases market reach, improves productivity and establishes better ways of working, said Anurag Agrawal, Analyst, Techaisle. Security remains the top constraint for accelerating remote work adoption as small businesses struggle with data protection and mobile management. The Cisco Designed portfolio of small business-focused solutions directly addresses the needs and threat vectors for secure workplaces, better collaboration, simplified manageability and organizational productivity empowerment.
At CiscoLive! Cisco will announce new products and solutions to support small business customers with the following:
Webex Work- a complete cloud collaboration solution that combines calling, meeting and messaging services in a single subscription, with attractive flexible monthly pricing for small businesses. Modern collaboration tools have become a must-have in the new normal, enabling people to be productive from anywhere, keeping employees connected, and ensuring work moves forward. With per user/per month Webex licenses starting at $19.95/month, this is priced competitively for small businesses.
Enhanced email security email remains the number one threat vector for all businesses. Learn more about how Cisco is enhancing email security next week at CiscoLive!
Cisco Business Dashboard a new version of the network management tool with a streamlined user interface to manage the entire network with integrated lifecycle management and automated alerting. With zero-touch plug and play deployment, and hosted in the cloud or on premises, it allows organizations to set-up, monitor and operate network devices from a simple interface on any device.
New Cisco Business Switches- many businesses will be re-evaluating their office footprint in the new normal.
