Dubai’s Vision Tech Solutions DMCC, a IT infrastructure and support specialist, are offering a free tech solution consultancy to SMEs that would enable them to rapidly shift to remote working arrangements, without compromising the security of their data and networks.
Rajab Ali Virani, Managing Director of Vision Tech Solutions DMCC believes that the tech sector needs to step in and proactively engage with businesses to limit the negative impact of the ongoing disruption in standard operations.
“We will provide free consultancy to SMEs and work closely with them to help connect employees working from home to office servers remotely, through a firewall. This arrangement will ensure that the data privacy and security of the company is preserved. We will also offer our services to help schools run their e-learning programs and assist with deploying reliable remote access to servers, so people can work or learn at home seamlessly even during this crisis “, Virani explained.
The threat of hackers, who are infecting users with malware by duplicating coronavirus tracker-maps, has emerged as a significant risk to businesses. They are using these maps to spread malicious software and gather information on users, including their names, passwords, credit card details and other data.
“One of the primary reasons we are offering to manage all the IT systems for SMEs is to ensure that these businesses are protected from opportunistic hackers and malicious parties, particularly if they currently use a network that is not properly secured” said Virani.
“The coronavirus contagion might be the key challenge right now, but a company’s data, privacy, and security cannot be compromised, whether or not teams are working remotely. Vision Tech Solutions DMCC can give companies peace of mind by ensuring that they do not have to choose between productivity and compromising their security and data, because of a move to remote working arrangements”. Virani concluded.
