In todays hybrid workplace, cyber threats arent just technical risks, theyre business risks. Yet many enterprises are still focused on firewalls and perimeter defence while overlooking the real front line: the employees daily digital experience.
At Think Tank Software Solutions (TTSS), the key to cyber resilience lies in a people-first, endpoint-smart approach that empowers users, reduces digital friction, and closes the gaps attackers love to exploit.
Secure the Experience, Not Just the InfrastructureResearch shows that over 70% of breaches originate at the endpoint (Gartner, 2024). But locking down devices isnt enough. Frustrated employees find workarounds. Outdated systems cause delays. And that's where vulnerability lives.
Thats why TTSS helps organisations automate patching, streamline password resets, and improve system performance, enabling employees to work securely, without disruption.
Digital Employee Experience (DEX) Is the New Cybersecurity Frontier
A study by Ivanti and Forrester found that organisations investing in DEX saw:
- Up to 38% fewer IT tickets
- 30% improvement in employee satisfaction
- Reduced exposure to security risks by using Ivanti Report
At TTSS, we bring this to life with tools like:
- Active Directory Account Control for secure, self-service support
- Ivanti automation for behind-the-scenes stability
- Docusign for secure, sustainable contract management by using Docusign IAM
Were not trying to be another traditional cybersecurity firm. We compete in the space where endpoint control and experience design intersect. Where IT helps employees do their best work, securely and efficiently.
While Microsoft and ServiceNow offer broad solutions, we offer:
- Faster deployment
- Deeper endpoint focus
- Customised strategies for the South African enterprise
And with future-facing partnerships focusing on enhancing our capabilities in AI-powered communication and enterprise messaging, were helping clients futureproof their environments, without adding complexity.
Resilience Is the Outcome of EmpowermentCybersecurity today isnt just about keeping threats out, its about keeping people in flow. When systems are fast, secure, and friction-free, employees dont bypass IT, they work with it.
And thats what were building at TTSS: resilient organisations powered by empowered people.
