Many, many companies have adopted remote work policies and practices since the COVID-19 pandemic forced most to downsize (if not cease outright) on-site operations about two years ago. Now, as we enter 2022, it seems a good time to reexamine the security that we have protecting our businesses and the workers currently operating remotely.

This is true because people have changed. More people use their mobile devices for a majority of their communication, their browsing, and a lot more, and it is changing the way business is conducted; it’s just not always easy to separate work use from personal usage. Let’s take a look at some of the ways the smartphone has changed the way people approach work, and how that shift in perspective has changed business.

You can argue that there is a war going on at all times in cyberspace while hackers—many of which are sponsored by government agencies—try to outdo security researchers at all turns. One such scenario sees customers in the United States and Israeli defense technology sectors becoming the target of “password spraying.” Tags: [Security](https://datalyst.directivesites.com/blog/tags/security) [Privacy](https://datalyst.directivesites.com/blog/tags/privacy) [Authentication](https://datalyst.directivesites.com/blog/tags/authentication) [0 Comments](https://datalyst.directivesites.com/blog/microsoft-warns-against-password-spraying#comments) [ Continue reading](https://datalyst.directivesites.com/blog/microsoft-warns-against-password-spraying) [ ![Daniel Mathieu](https://datalyst.directivesites.com/images/easyblog_avatar/808_808_blogauthor.png) ](https://datalyst.directivesites.com/blog/blogger/daniel-mathieu) ## [The Network Bottleneck Can Sap Productivity](https://datalyst.directivesites.com/blog/the-network-bottleneck-can-sap-productivity) Wednesday, 01 December 2021 [Daniel Mathieu](https://datalyst.directivesites.com/blog/blogger/daniel-mathieu) [Datalyst Blog](https://datalyst.directivesites.com/blog/categories/blog) [Business](https://datalyst.directivesites.com/blog/categories/business) [ ![The Network Bottleneck Can Sap Productivity](https://datalyst.directivesites.com/images/easyblog_shared/December_2021/12-01-21/b2ap3_large_snail_65310411_400.jpg) ](https://datalyst.directivesites.com/blog/the-network-bottleneck-can-sap-productivity "The Network Bottleneck Can Sap Productivity") Sometimes you might encounter situations where your network is limited in the amount of data it can process at any given time. The unfortunate truth is that it can be difficult to identify exactly what the problem is that is causing the slowdown, but one of the most common issues—the network bottleneck—is a pretty safe bet. But what exactly is a bottleneck, and what can be done to solve it?

Unfortunately, demand—as well as the COVID-19 pandemic—has caused difficulties for many organizations’ supply chains, including microprocessors. Today, we will go through the microchip shortage, how it affects consumers and when experts project that it will subside.
