The proliferation of SaaS, web, and cloud-based tools in the workplace has changed how we work. No matter what the job, there seems to be an app or cloud service to make it simpler. While these tools enhance productivity, there are unintended downsides around security. Most of these tools need a set of credentials for usage. According to Okta , the average company uses 88 apps. While each user onl...

Over the past year, there has been much speculation about what the future of work might look like in a post-pandemic world. Less often have we talked about what education might look like.
