When setting up a virtual network in Azure for an RSI client, there are a few different options we use to protect a client’s network. Network Security Groups/NSG’s are thought of as a basic allow/deny rule for each section of the virtual network. The Azure Firewall, fully managed and providing advanced security, functions much like a normal firewall and will work in conjunction with NSG. Both need to be used in conjunction for the best result.

Patching is an essential step in ensuring the security of your network and systems. It protects a system from known vulnerabilities and emerging threats and is a crucial part of any effective security strategy. By staying up to date with the latest security patches, you can help prevent hackers from gaining unauthorized access to the system and keep your critical systems and sensitive data safe.

Testing is the #1 priority and is imperative to reduce the number of bugs in software and web applications. When code goes through the development process, there are several stages before it’s delivered to the client. In each stage, testing is done to filter out bugs and create the best user experience when the software goes live. The first stage in development is when the developers test their code, known as “Unit Testing.”

RSI has been able to optimize the software development process for clients by utilizing the version control software Azure DevOps to organize each team member’s work. With Azure, RSI can seamlessly work on the same documents relating to the client’s application through their cloud centric design.

Password assessments are critical in identifying vulnerabilities quickly and efficiently. When warnings come up, RSI works directly with clients to ensure the remediation process goes smoothly and accurately. Having secure passwords and safe browsing habits are critical to being secure on the web and preventing several types of cyber-attacks.

Automated testing is a crucial aspect of software development. It is a process that validates if software is functioning appropriately and meeting requirements before it is released into production, increasing the efficiency, effectiveness, and coverage of software testing and saving time and effort.

Remote Desktop Apps have proven to be a more valuable and stable platform to use for businesses, and more effective in allowing companies to access remote applications and company resources with limited interruptions of services and downtime.

Using AI in business practices has never been more accessible and affordable. As AI continues to innovate and develop, more AI-powered SaaS tools have been developed. Businesses can lower costs while greatly improving productivity, which automates many business processes.

Automated batch processes are typically applications which perform a specific function on a schedule or process transactional batches. Batch processes perform essential functions for our customers and alleviate the need for user interaction in order to perform the function, freeing up valuable human resources for other tasks.
