The meeting room is a key area in any business environment – a space for communicating, brainstorming, creating and decision-making. It’s a room that takes up huge amounts of our time during the working week. But too many business meeting rooms are ill-equipped to deal with modern needs of business people – scheduling, multi-presenters sharing screens and wireless devices being the technology of choice. Meeting rooms are often an exasperating experience for everyone involved.
With more organizations embracing trends such as collaboration, mobile working and BYOD, it is becoming more important than ever before to ensure that technology enables productivity and efficiency and the meeting room is a perfect place to start.

According to the Ponemon Institutes annual benchmark study on the cost of data breach incidents for companies in the U.S., the 2014 study reports:
- The cost of a data breach and the cost per lost/stolen record has increased.
- Malicious or criminal attacks rather than negligence or system glitches were the main causes of a data breach.
- Organizations that had a strong security posture or formal incident response plan in place, the average cost of a data breach was reduced.
- The probability of a material data breach over the next two years is nearly 19%.
- Intelligently manage vulnerabilities. Penetration testing provides detailed information on exploitable security threats so they can be prioritized for remediation, security patches applied and resources allocated where they are needed.
- Avoid the cost of downtime. Testing helps to avoid financial costs of remediation efforts, legal activities, lowered productivity and more by identifying and addressing risks before breaches occur.
- Meet regulatory requirements and avoid fines. Detailed reports can help organizations address some of the requirements of HIPAA, Sarbanes-Oxley, PCI-DSS and more.
- Preserve corporate image and customer loyalty. Penetration testing helps customer’s avoid data incidents and protect their reputation and trustworthiness.
