Accelerate your secure hybrid work journey with our new E-Suite Discovery Offerings [EDO]
In response to the demand from customers across the Americas, we are introducing a set of new offerings to help you achieve success in your current and future hybrid work challenges. These offerings provide assessment tools, across your most critical applications and resources, to give you precise information, incorporating the best of two worlds:
Quick and automated way to view your security configuration posture and compare it to best practices.
- Our E-Suite solutions gather and analyze your security controls and provide a special EDO finding and recommendations dashboard in our analytics tool (E-Visor)
Provide expert recommendations after reviewing and analyzing the findings.
- Once our tool has collected your platform information across cloud and on-premises (and in some cases, both), a Synergy Advisors expert will deliver findings and recommendations sessions
- What’s next? You keep the deliverables and findings in E-Visor for EDO (using PowerBI desktop) so that your organization can further review and analyze the results. We, of course, are here to help beyond the initial discovery to support you with potential implementations and modifications in your organization
- In some cases, you can interact with findings, alerts, notifications, and even configuration settings using our E-Visor Teams App, providing a new way to extend and simplify access to your platform activity and data
Alright, let’s take a quick look at the offerings!
