Secure remote access

Protect your organization with secure remote access

With the rise of the hybrid workforce and work-from-anywhere employees, secure remote access must be a top priority for your IT and security teams. Employees who work outside the office need fast access to SaaS applications, cloud resources and IT assets on your corporate network. Yet, connecting to your network from remote locations on unmanaged devices via unsecure connections raises all kinds of security concerns and significantly increases the size of your attack surface.

Secure remote access solutions can help by combining multiple layers of security that authenticate users, protect endpoints and block unauthorized access while ensuring that security measures don’t slow your remote workers down.

A superior remote access technology will offer robust protection with a broad range of options that integrate easily with other aspects of your security program. That’s where Spectrum Enterprise can help. We offer multiple solutions and services that deliver secure remote access while also defending your IT environment from threats and simplifying management of your network.
 

Benefits of secure remote access

With superior solutions for secure remote access, you can:

• Ensure productivity. No matter where they are working from, remote workers can rely on secure access to easily and quickly connect to the resources they need to stay productive: cloud databases, SaaS applications, remote devices and IT resources on the corporate network.
• Minimize the attack surface. Secure remote access reduces the number of attack vectors that threat actors can target when seeking to infiltrate remote endpoints.
• Achieve compliance. Increasing security for users connecting from remote locations helps your organization avoid compliance issues with a growing body of industry and governmental regulations.
• Protect endpoints. In addition to defending corporate networks and internet connections, secure remote access solutions protect both managed and unmanaged devices that employees rely on to get work done.
• Stronger web security. Secure remote access technology protects your users whenever they’re connected to the Web, not just when they’re connected to your organization’s IT network. This helps keep them safe from web-borne threats like malware, ransomware and phishing attacks.
• Promote security awareness. By enforcing your security policies and reminding users about best practices, secure remote access solutions can help eliminate human error and emphasize the importance of good security hygiene for your users.
