What is Remote Access?

Remote access allows users to securely access services and tech environments outside of fixed location. This can be used to enable home working, for increased operational agility, improved IT support allowing for remote troubleshooting, and enhanced collaboration through accessing shared files.

How does Remote Access work?

With Remote Access, end users can access specific workloads on the network, in accordance with the policy you define. You can also add security components that protect the traffic to and from your remote users.

Remote Access is achieved through SSL-VPN technology, which requires you to install a piece of software on the end user’s device.

The user volumes available to purchase are:

5 users
10 users
25 users
35 users
50 users
100 users
500 users

Answering your FAQs about Remote Access

: The key to a secure Remote Access connection is authentication and encryption. As traffic is running over the internet, encryption is needed to keep the connection secure. Authentication, particularly multifactor authentication (MFA) helps to mitigate risks at the user end. Our solution uses SSL VPN.
: Most, if not all Remote Access services are deemed 'secure' but some older RDP solutions are no longer considered to be as secure as they once were. RDP requires that a network port be open which cybercriminals can scan for to identify brute force entry points into the network.
: An example of Remote Access could be for people working from home that need to reach their daily network resources. In this scenario, the user logs into a software client that is downloaded on their laptop, which establishes a secure internet connection via SSL-VPN, granting entry into network environments defined by the company's IT policy.
