As QOS vice president of marketing Stefanie Whittington points out, with new technologies and platforms like IoT and AI coming into the fold, overall network security and configurations will be increasingly critical.

Here, Whittington talks about AI and the IoT and their increasing role, overall network security and the increased adoption of SD-WAN.

Channel Futures: How does your organization differentiate itself from other MSPs?

With each new technology, there comes more possibilities for points of failure and vulnerabilities. The network can be the key to managing and monitoring these points of vulnerability and ultimately can help enterprises be prepared for security changes.

Each enterprise today is unique in that they have cloud connectivity, SaaS apps, custom apps, specific business processes, custom programs and the list goes on. Enterprises need to have a streamlined approach with their network to allow for better performance, more productivity and…
