REMOTE WORKING
Delivering new technology to the market
With more and more people wanting to and needing to work from home or remotely, giving them access to systems securely is paramount to their productivity and efficiency. A Virtual Private Network (VPN) does just this.
A VPN is an organisations private network which operates across the Internet. As traffic is carried over a public infrastructure, securing the VPN is vital. There are many solutions which can provide remote access but a well designed VPN can provide some specific benefits for an organisation:
- Extend the scope of connectivity;
- Improve security ;
- Reduce operational costs;
- Reduce transit time and transportation costs for remote users;
- Simplifies network infrastructure in certain scenarios;
- Provide broadband networking compatibility;
- Provide faster ROI (return on investment) than traditional carrier leased/owned WAN lines;
- Be fully scalable.
With these benefits come some specific security issues which need to be considered:
- User security and hardware security needs to be tightened;
- Security policies need to be enforced;
- All devices need firewalls to be installed, configured ad enabled;
- Backup and storage needs to be managed and monitored.
There are a number of technologies used in designing a VPN; CNT will work with you to help you choose the most appropriate solution.
