Discover a New Level of Data Security for Unified Communications
Data Security is defined as protecting data and data infrastructure from unauthorized access for malicious purposes. The news is full of reports of data breaches at organizations ranging from top retailers, hospitals, government municipalities as well as global Fortune 500 companies. As a result, data security is more than a hot topic, it is a real concern for all IT managers across all industries.
This concern is top of mind at 8x8 where we have built our products around a set of data security requirements that meet and exceed those required by top security-focused agencies throughout most industries and governments.

Cyber Essentials Plus
Cyber Essentials was built out a need for a common recipe based on evidence of the cyber attacks seen over a specific time-frame.
