After teleworking, are we heading towards a democratization of flex office?

While telework has widely developed in organizations in 2020 due to the Covid-19 pandemic, flex office now appears as the next logical step in the reorganization of workspaces.

Zero trust chain

The Zero trust chain

Over the last few years, “Zero Trust” has been established as the reference model for information systems security. While ZTNA (Zero Trust Network Access) is one of its essential building blocks, “Zero Trust” goes beyond external access rights.

Covid-19: the forgotten side of teleworking

A few days ago, a survey conducted by Odoxa-Adviso Partners estimated that there are 5.1 million people teleworking in France during this period of covid-19 health crisis.

ZTNA

ZTNA : A look back to the Zero Trust concept

In its Market Guide for Zero Trust Network Access (ZTNA), Gartner estimates that by 2022, 80% of new business applications open to a partner ecosystem will be accessible via a ZTNA solution.

The human face of the workplace

A world without users? “Automation”, “DevOps”, “Robotic Process Automation” (RPA), bots, chatbots and other robots, “artificial intelligence” (AI), … According to some people, users will disappear from the scene: the omnipresence of computing, called “digital”, will eventually replace them, do everything for them, and even do more and better than they do.
