Branch offices play a critical role in the success of a business, contributing significantly to its bottom line. Despite that, branch offices often do not have all the pieces of the puzzle in place for robust performance and threat management in these remote locations.
This can happen due to shortfalls in branch office IT management, which can include:
- No full-time IT staff on site
- Reduced visibility into network and service performance compared to headquarters or data center locations
- Limited or no visibility into traffic that doesn’t come back to the data center
- Difficulty in understanding the remote end-user experience and quantifying the impact of service degradations
