In the spring of 2020, seemingly overnight, much of the global workforce transitioned to working from home.

In order to curtail the spread of the novel coronavirus, businesses made this harsh and abrupt conversion. But with this new way of doing work also comes a host of new security challenges.

As employees dial in to work from home and access company data from their personal computers, phishing attacks abound. So how can businesses and corporations keep their sensitive data safe?

Guest Jayanth Gummaraju, Founder and CEO of Banayan Security, explains how businesses can adapt. He expounds upon how to improve already-in-place remote work networks while pointing out new vulnerabilities to look out for, like accessing data in the cloud.

Though VPNs have helped make this abrupt transition to a remote workforce, they won’t fly in the long run, Gummaraju said.

The Banayan Security CEO explains how third parties, like Banyan Security, can prevent network overwhelm and data breaches with a secure and scalable remote-access platform.

End users made up 37% of InfoComm 2026's 28,132 attendees

End users made up 37% of InfoComm 2026's 28,132 attendees

AVIXA reports InfoComm 2026 drew 28,132 verified attendees from 94 countries to Las Vegas, with end users making up 37%. Microsoft and Cisco keynotes centered on AI agents for the meeting room. For enterprise workplace and IT teams, the June attendance mix and cross-platform AI pitches are timely as fall buying decisions approach.

  • 01A 37% end-user share at a pro AV trade show is a usable benchmark: more than one in three badges belonged to organizations that deploy the equipment, suggesting exhibitors may be demoing more directly to customers.
  • 02A sharper question to put to a collaboration vendor before the demo is which platform an AI meeting feature actually runs on. According to AVIXA, Cisco framed intelligent systems and open collaboration ecosystems as working across platforms including Microsoft Teams, Google Meet and Zoom, while Microsoft tied its voice agents to Teams Phone and Teams Rooms.
  • 03The 170-meter Cat5e reach BZBGEAR's Matt Richards cited to CE Pro for the XTREME-PRO, part of the XLink-ONE family that took Best of Show at InfoComm 2026 from AV Technology, is a manufacturer spec, not an independent test; for facilities with runs past 100 meters it is worth a bench check before fiber is designed out.
