When your online app asks your phone app to authenticate you, via thumbprint or a “is this you” prompt, that’s MFA.  And while Multi-Factor authentication is a minor interruption for the user, it allows your financial institutions to make sure it’s really you logging on—giving you peace of mind that a [cybercriminal](https://pulseone.com/small-businesses-a-common-target-for-cybercriminals/) who might have gotten your login credentials can’t get in and take your money.

But the right technology partner can take your company out of a defensive, reactive mode…and put you on the offensive where you take a proactive stance. Instead of IT being a liability that hinders your business, IT becomes an asset that drives your business—by increasing your capacity to generate revenue and enabling your business workflows to operate more efficiently.

And with the U.S. starting to turn the corner on the pandemic, 84% of firms say they’ll allow employees to stay remote.

For example, virtual firewalls lower the total cost of ownership (TCO) of your implementations because more than one instance can be deployed on a single physical appliance.

The acronym stands for Voice over Internet protocol. Why is VoIP important? Since the 19th century, the nation’s local telcos (like AT&T and Verizon) have relied on the public switched telephone network ([PSTN](https://telnyx.com/resources/what-is-pstn)) to connect calls. Today, while telcos provide both plain old telephone service ([POTS](https://www.techopedia.com/definition/12148/plain-old-telephone-service-pots)) and VoIP, they will soon quit offering POTS to subscribers. Like it or not, change is coming.

Developers need to deliver new applications quickly, and IT operations must keep those applications running at peak performance. When it’s time for updates, the two teams should be able to work together seamlessly to roll out application revisions as quickly as possible.
