Working from another location
By deploying a virtual private network (VPN) your remote workers can have easy access to the company network. Homeworkers can be provided with Internet access and a secure connection to the office with appropriate access permissions and security maintained. Direct Support can also provide multiple secure remote access methods to suit on–the-road workers. The office infrastructure can be designed to provide suitable and secure access alternatives required by your remote workers.Security considerations
With remote access to company data and IT systems being achieved over the public World Wide Web, it is essential to ensure your network is secure from hackers.
Direct Support has helped many of its customers develop a security policy tailored to its working practice and keeping the mobile worker secure.
Such policies include:
- Deploying virtual private networks (VPNs) with more than one level of password protection.
- Investing in administration tools to monitor the status of all computers.
- Checking virus updates are implemented for remote workers.
- Supplementing company firewalls with personal firewalls.
- Facilitating remote worker back-ups.
