The LIVEcommunity has changed many times over the years, and this time we have changed again to help adapt to the ever-changing security environment. Many of us have been forced to work from home, practice social distancing and interact remotely.
Now, more than ever, fast access to quick applicable solutions is critical to addressing security threats. Perhaps even more critical is having access to a peer-to-peer community of intelligent and collaborative network security and IT professionals all working together to address similar challenges. There is no question that thousands of minds working together, creating and sharing ideas to counter security challenges, is far more powerful than a single engineer working alone.
This customer experience (CX) refresh provides our customers and our community members with a simplified experience, supports an enhanced online community journey and promotes engagement opportunities with new, fun and exciting features.
We did this for a number of reasons, but here are the big ones:
With these key factors in mind, we made some significant changes to LIVEcommunity. We believe they will help you find the information you need and connect with over 170,000 of the most progressive IT and security professionals, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.
We hope you like what you see and feel inspired to connect, engage, and learn more. Read some of our featured articles, post a question, or better yet, answer a question! Let us know what you think. In the end, this is your community, and we are here to make it as useful as we can for you.
