POLY STUDIO IS NOW CERTIFIED FOR MICROSOFT TEAMS

It seems like every photo shown of a business in action these days features a bunch of people in a huddle room, looking productive – just like our own Poly beauty shot below. But the technology that is IN the room really matters most to the people who are joining remotely – the people NOT in the room: Your sales team joining a Microsoft Teams meeting from the road. Your CFO joining a budgeting meeting from his cabin in the mountains. Your flexible workers joining small team brainstorms or regular staff. What you have in your huddle rooms can either make people more productive by making them more included … or can frustrate them with bad audio, choppy video or cameras pointed anywhere but at the speaker. If you’re moving to Teams, you want to be moving forward, now, with the best experiences. Poly’s new Studio USB video bar – now certified for Teams – can help.

Who should lead the push for IoT security?

Article | February 10, 2020

The ease with which internet of things devices can be compromised, coupled with the potentially extreme consequences of breaches, have prompted action from legislatures and regulators, but what group is best to decide? Both the makers of IoT devices and governments are aware of the security issues, but so far they haven’t come up with standardized ways to address them. The challenge of this market is that it’s moving so fast that no regulation is going to be able to keep pace with the devices that are being connected,” said Forrester vice president and research director Merritt Maxim. “Regulations that are definitive are easy to enforce and helpful, but they’ll quickly become outdated.”The latest such effort by a governmental body is a proposed regulation in the U.K. that would impose three major mandates on IoT device manufacturers that would address key security concerns.
