Mobility News - Enable Remote Access
Unexpected occasions like virus outbreak, natural disasters or other reasons may render office premises not suitable to work and cause interruptions to business operation. Enterprises need to urgently enable remote access of important IT systems by their employees, e.g. home office, for business continuity.
Some think they can achieve this with a simple VPN solution. But in fact, you need to plan carefully to manage and secure the remote access. Many of the remote computers will be unmanaged BYODs and will largely increase the attack surface. This can make your IT infrastructure vulnerable to malicious malwares, advanced threats and zero-day exploits. It is necessary to implement additional security control measures to protect your IT environment against cyberattacks.
Moreover, you need to properly authenticate and granularly control your application access only by authorized users and monitor and log all remote access activities to safeguard your systems and avoid exfiltration of important business data.
And for some legacy applications that are not readily accessible remotely via internet, enterprises need to quickly enable their remote access with the right desktop and application virtualization technologies with little or no modifications of their legacy applications.
