Women’s History Month: Honoring Women in Technology and Ntirety’s Female Leaders Women’s History Month: Honoring Women in Technology and Ntirety’s Female Leaders March is recognized as Women’s History Month and with each passing year, we are proud to see more and more women entering the technology field. From Product Development to Customer Success, Ntirety is fortunate to have many strong female leaders throughout our company. In honor of Women’s History Month, we’ve interviewed several of our team members about their experiences working in the tech industry, being a part of Ntirety, and looking towards the future for women in IT. “I’ve been in this industry, and with this company, a long time,” shares Cindy Lou Chapman, Oracle Team Lead. “Technology can still feel male-dominated from what I’ve experienced in this business, but I like to think there are streaks of brilliance, flashes of color, that are represented by the women that have passed thru or persevered in this domain.” While statistics show that women currently make up only 25% of the tech workforce, Chapman encourages more women to enter the industry and likes to train women new to the field, helping them reach their potential. Similarly, Dawn Watz, Quality Assurance Lead in Product Development, is also inspired to see the creation and growth of global tech support organizations like Women in Tech, Women Who Code, and Women Who Test, even though her early experiences in the industry also mirrored Chapman’s. “When I started in tech, I had no idea I would be the only woman or one of few on most of my teams,” Watz explains, but she’s since found support from her teammates and management at Ntirety. “I feel trusted to make decisions and solve problems. My work is respected and my ideas are considered with the same weight as other team members.” Even if their presence wasn’t overt in the early days, groundbreaking female leaders in the IT field influenced many on the Ntirety team. “I’ve been lucky to have many strong females in my life who have inspired me to always stand up for myself, strive to succeed, and not be afraid to break traditions,” says Maggie McGovern, Vice President, Customer Success & SMB Sales. With over 20 years in the tech industry and being a part of the Ntirety team since 2006, McGovern’s career journey has taken her from working behind the scenes in IT to switching over to work with people more through Customer Success. Her path is a great example of how many facets are in the tech industry and how important building and maintaining strong relationships and networks are in the technology space. From Customer Success Managers to Channel Partners, Ntirety’s team is dedicated to helping people. “I love working in channel for a cybersecurity company. It allows me to rehumanize technology by taking something scary and saying hey, you’ve got a team of people that can help you,” explains Alexandria Huber, Regional Channel Manager. “Having the right technology is important, but having the right people is better.” In every area, there are strong roles for women to take the lead and provide much needed perspectives and ideas that contribute to greater innovation – and Ntirety believes that diversity is invaluable to our teams. “In my role at Ntirety, I hope to be able to contribute to making Ntirety a more diverse and inclusive space and increase the number of women in our leadership and tech roles,” shares Zoe Robinson, People Experience & Recruitment Advisor, “As a young woman starting my career in People Operations at a tech company, I am inspired to work towards recruiting more women into tech and creating an environment internally where they can succeed.” From personal convictions to company missions, Ntirety is dedicated to expanding women’s roles in technology and fostering new opportunities for everyone.

Better Not Pout: The Price of No Disaster Recovery Plan – Forbes Article by Ntirety CEO Emil Sayegh Better Not Pout: The Price of No Disaster Recovery Plan – Forbes Article by Ntirety CEO Emil Sayegh Hackers, hardware failure, human error—is your business willing to roll the dice without a disaster recovery plan? Don’t trust the odds of naughty versus nice when it comes to your business IT systems and data. Published in Forbes on December 1, 2020, Ntirety CEO Emil Sayegh’s article Better Not Pout: The Price of No Disaster Recovery Plan explains why disaster recovery plans are an essential investment of time that no organization can afford to skip. The end of 2020 is a nonstop wave of cyberattacks on big name private sector companies and federal agencies, and the holidays only heighten the risks for businesses across industries. Learn about this non-negotiable task for every business – and how professionals can sleep better at night with “visions of sugar-plums dancing in your head” without IT worries. Read Emil’s full article below or on Forbes.com here. Better Not Pout: The Price of No Disaster Recovery Plan Twas the night before Christmas, when all through the house Not a creature was stirring, not even a mouse Seriously now, imagine yourself ahead of the most important e-commerce season of the year for your company. A tech disaster at this moment would be harrowing – and Murphy’s Law tells us this is the time when these events tend to happen. It is during moments like these that you must have a strategy and a team ready to execute your plan flawlessly. Because, as the Christmas poem goes you don’t want this to happen: When out on the lawn there arose such a clatter, I sprang from the bed to see what was the matter There was a time not so long ago when disaster recovery plans did not consistently get their due day, and even perhaps got a few eye rolls. That sentiment has drastically shifted as more businesses than ever rely on highly available and reliable digital transactions. Even a minor security incident can wield significant impacts that, in many cases, affect company revenue. It’s enough to make heads spin – a challenging task that covers business process contingencies as well as means of technological recovery. So Many Risks A loss of data and unplanned technology interruptions can cause a company’s base to crumble. Real-world circumstances and threats create a state of never-ending peril and include difficult-to-plan-for risk factors: Human Error – People make mistakes. Administrators might miss a piece of code. They may mistakenly apply tools directly in production instead of test environments. Users are also vulnerable, which is part of the reason spyware and virus distribution continues to be successful. One errant click could cause a domino effect, bringing down an entire organization. Hack Evolution – Threats exist from all walks of life, including call attempts, physical breaches, even walking through the front door. Those are difficult, risky tactics and most criminals prefer to leverage the evolving cybercrime tactics that we see attack IT systems prevalently today. IT Failure – A missed process, a broken configuration, gaps in security, hardware failure, network issues – IT systems can and do fail. Some of the components are physical, others are virtual and many of these failures trackback to circumstance. If you haven’t had a chance to revisit or think through disaster recovery plans for all of these risk factors – especially when a new year is upon us – it is time to do so. In the competitive age that we live in, there is no margin for the types of outcomes that can be prevented or minimized by proper disaster recovery planning. Could your business afford data loss due to a security breach, human errors, or natural disasters? Can the average business sustain another business interruption, downtime, or loss of productivity? Ultimately, can you afford to lose clients, and are you ready to have difficult and serious conversations with customers about the data that was lost? Rolling Without – DON’T Whether malicious in nature, based in nature itself or attributable to human error, the far-reaching effects of an IT disaster are avoidable with regular planning and continual revisiting. We all take measures to ensure our personal health, our employees, our vehicles, and homes, but precautions, procedures, and policies that affect organizations often get left out due to insufficient focus. Consider the levels of impact a disaster can have instantaneously and long-term: Financial Losses – Immediate Operational Dysfunction – Immediate and Intermediate Reputational Loss – Potentially Long-Lasting Damage Envision how and what your business would need to recover from a technological, experience, and customer relations perspective and you will be on the right track. With good planning in place, recovery times can be minimized reducing lost revenue and time. System backups, system resiliency, and operational procedures are just some of the elements that make dependable companies dependable. An essential investment of time, disaster recovery plans are a non-negotiable task for businesses – far from an IT luxury – and how to sleep well at night with Visions of sugar-plums dancing in your head!

Cloud Success Stories: Stronger Cybersecurity in Azure Public Cloud Cloud Success Stories: Stronger Cybersecurity in Azure Public Cloud Regardless of industry, location, or company size, IT security is a top priority for all businesses. Operating in the cloud, like the Microsoft Azure platform, can give organizations a big boost in their security posture. In fact, Gartner predicts that through 2020 public cloud IaaS workloads will experience 60% fewer security incidents than traditional data centers. To make this prediction a reality though, businesses need to know how to migrate and configure their cloud environments properly and continue to optimize as cyber-threats continue to evolve. This is a tall order for most companies, which makes sense why security would be one of the biggest hurdles against cloud adoption for nearly two-thirds of companies. But with the continued guidance and expertise of cybersecurity and cloud professionals, like Ntirety’s Azure experts paired with our Managed Security Services, the cloud can provide the secure environment for businesses to build, deploy, and manage services and applications from anywhere. Take an insider’s look at how two organizations overcame obstacles and minimized vulnerabilities migrating and expanding their Microsoft Azure environments with Ntirety leading them through a smooth digital transformation. University Reduces IT Risks After Migrating Workloads to Azure Offering both traditional and online class options, a major university knew it had to undergo a digital transformation from their colocation setup. Evolving their existing IT stack was exposing IT performance and availability issues and the university had to move to the cloud to alleviate the issues. But making that transition risked greater downtime and knew the migration would require IT expertise beyond what the higher-ed organization had in-house. The university selected Ntirety to perform the university’s migration to Microsoft Azure with their internal teams working in tandem with Ntirety’s on project plan so they could guide their IT partner through a full analysis of existing code and the organization’s infrastructure design. Achieving a smooth transformation to Azure, the university was relieved of many of the operational risks and costs associated with managing a legacy colocation provider. With Ntirety’s continued partnership, the university took full advantage of the Azure’s reporting tools, cost optimization in the dynamic environment, and better security monitoring. IHS Markit Regains Business Focus with Secure Azure Cloud Services The IHS Markit team strained to keep up the company’s 24/7 operation and needed expert Azure support to continue to grow securely. Not only did the company need the time and focus back for their desired business goals, but they needed a stronger security posture to protect proprietary data. With Ntirety acting as front line for monitoring and patching for their Azure environment, the organization’s internal teams could push forward with peace of mind. The organization operated smoothly without a hiccup in security thanks to diligent monitoring and patching, tasks that could easily go overlooked by internal teams stretched thin. But Ntirety was capable of handling hundreds of WAF alerts and remediations daily to prevent any real problems developing. While escalation procedures were put in place, the Ntirety team was often able to engage and mitigate any issues without having to distract the IHS Markit team – letting them focus without worrying about cybersecurity. Better Cloud Security Together No matter what IT environment, cloud security is a shared responsibility strengthen with the expertise of a cybersecurity partner. With a proven track record of helping organization across industries migrate, optimize, and secure their business IT, Ntirety offers a portfolio of managed security services designed to meet every business’s needs, including: Secure remote access and managed VPN Edge-to-endpoint firewalls Malware protection and patching Real-time reporting on potential threats Whether starting migration or optimizing existing infrastructure, Ntirety Managed Security Services offer enterprise businesses the advanced tools, processes, and support networks and mission-critical applications.

Our team has stepped up to the plate every time, helping customers manage their hybrid infrastructure needs, securely and economically.” Greater Focus on Cybersecurity The introduction of the new Ntirety Managed Security Services suite could not have come at a better time for clients as IT threats increased and evolved with the pandemic and the shift to a more remote workforce. “It is refreshing to work with a group that takes our issues as seriously as we do and to go as far as we would go to get them resolved.

Cloud Migration Success Stories: Optimizing Cost and Improving Agility in the AWS Public Cloud Optimizing Cost and Improving Agility in the AWS Public Cloud For any business to maintain a competitive edge, cloud migration is no longer a question of if but when – and now even more importantly, it is a question of how to migrate efficiently, effectively, and securely. Whether migrating some or all of their workloads from traditional data centers to public or private clouds, or opting for hybrid or multi-cloud solutions, 52% of the early-stage cloud users choose Amazon Web Services (AWS). Businesses find the extensive set of cloud services from AWS can offer numerous benefits, including: Optimized IT costs Increased business agility An overall competitive edge But cloud migrations are often complex and take time, expertise, and planning to be successful. Top challenges standing in the way of businesses making the move, according to the Flexera 2020 State of the Cloud Report, include understanding the IT dependencies involved (63%), assessing on-prem vs. cloud costs (41%), and even determining if it’s feasible for their IT systems to migrate (47%). But even if migration seems like a formidable task, it doesn’t have to be overwhelm internal teams or slow down other business initiatives when pair with the right IT partner – especially one with experience not only migrating companies to the AWS cloud platform, but providing ongoing support and implementation of AWS tools and services. Take an insider’s look at how two companies overcome various challenges and pain points during migration with Ntirety guiding them through a smooth digital transition with AWS to become future-ready enterprises. Engineering Firm Optimizes IT Costs Migrating e-Commerce Site to AWS For over 50 years, engineering firm K&N has been a leader in automotive industry, offering products to increase performance and longevity in vehicle applications worldwide. Although serving a global market, K&N had been storing their severs in a closet before Ntirety helped them make the switch from internal servers to a local data-center. This move would be the first leg of the engineering firm’s digital transformation. From the success of that initial transition, K&N decided to optimize further by moving their e-commerce site’s development environment over to AWS. By offloading this specific workload into the cloud, Ntirety helped the firm ensure that continued development of their public-facing e-commerce site would be able to scale without forcing costly data center expansions. The smooth transition to AWS demonstrated to K&N that Ntirety possessed not only extensive expertise in cloud migrations, but specifically with AWS. The firm engaged Ntirety to take over the monitoring, DevOps, security, and management of the e-commerce site’s AWS environment. Keeping Ntirety as an extension of their internal IT team allowed K&N to focus on desired business goals, rather than trying to keep up with their new AWS instance. Migrating a specific portion of K&N’s business IT to the cloud proved to help make their budget go further while simultaneously optimizing it. Overall, K&N found a better pricing model in this hybrid approach, as well as greater peace of mind knowing they had an expert partner fully managing their AWS environment. Financial Services Firm Migrates to Scalable AWS Environment to Support Expansion While rapid growth is often viewed as a good thing for businesses, quickly outgrowing IT applications and infrastructure puts a strain on resources, bandwidth, budget, and the ability to continue positive growth – as was the case for one financial firm. Originally, this financial firm’s application was designed to run on dedicated servers but then moved to streaming. The move caused sprawling infrastructure and spiraling costs, as well as inconsistencies in deployment, configuration, and security policies. The firm turned to Ntirety to help migrate their application to a cloud environment that could scale to manage their business growth and better service their customers. Scalable and security-focused, Ntirety designed the new environment for the application entirely as code using AWS Cloud Formation. This implemented design allowed the financial services firm to easily add customers on the fly in a matter of minutes versus the 40-plus hours it took to manually add a customer when the application was in the SaaS environment. Together with Ntirety, the firm successfully moved their production workload over to the AWS model and began offering the platform to new customers. With plans to continue expanding globally, the AWS environment provided the flexible, scalable architecture the firm needed to support ongoing new growth. Find Your Answers to When and How From SMB to enterprise, IT professionals now “view cloud [migration] as inevitable,” Gartner reported in 2019. “The focus is now on how to do it well versus on whether to do it at all.” As an AWS Advanced Consulting Partner, Ntirety is equipped to do just that for clients. With a proven track record of helping organization across industries plan, migrate, and optimize their business IT with AWS, Ntirety offers a portfolio of cloud migration services designed to meet every business’s needs. Whether moving everything or designing a hybrid solution, companies can find a true IT partner with Ntirety. Ready to start your digital transformation?
