Remote Access
The remote workforce has sustained continued growth in recent years and as such, created the need for remote access to company information and systems. However threats are growing in sophistication and speed and to deploy remote access securely is a major challenge for businesses. Increasing the number of users that can access the network (mobile employees, partners, customers) and increasing the methods of access (desktop PC’s, laptops, PDA’s) and the number of applications (VoIP, multimedia) all add risks.
Secure Access SSL VPN solutions provide remote/mobile employees, business partners and customers access to the applications and resources they need from anywhere, without requiring any client software, changes to servers, or ongoing maintenance. SSL VPN’s sit between the external user and the internal audience and used Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) found in all standard web browsers to provide secure transport.
Remote access is therefore useful for companies with a large remote workforce, such as auditors, insurance agents or technical sales representatives. It can also remove the distance between office locations |
