Unified Communications & The topic of data protection and data security in UCC environments is more relevant than ever: increasingly strict regulatory requirements require authorities to handle sensitive information carefully, and the current geopolitical tensions show those responsible every day that not only cyber criminals but also dangerous state actors have long been aware of the value of critical data. At the same time, securing UCC landscapes is also proving to be increasingly complex.
“Similar to private companies, public bodies today must create secure data environments without compromising their own ability to act and perform,” explains Rouven Ashauer, Business Development Manager Collaboration at Controlware. “In practice, however, the balancing act between digital sovereignty and scalable, highly secure collaboration services often proves to be a time-consuming and costly challenge. That is why we support public sector institutions in particular with tailor-made consulting and solution packages in the development of tailor-made UCC solutions – from implementation to documentation.”
