TechShout - Apr 22, 2021 Organizations transitioning to a remote workforce need a secure remote access solution.

Each year, over 23,000 new vulnerabilities are discovered and publicly reported in production code. For these vulnerabilities in released software, patching is the most common and effective method of managing them. By applying an update that fixes the security hole, an organization can eliminate the potential for it to be exploited by an attacker.
