One of the challenges facing companies using Atlassian products behind the firewall is how to configure them to get the same functionality offered by their Cloud brethren.

In the UK alone, the Cabinet Office has estimated the cost of cyber-crimes on the economy at £27bn. At least an estimated £9.2bn of that is related to just the theft of IP from UK businesses. Companies bear the brunt of these financial losses.
