Unexpected events—such as pandemics, natural disasters, or other disruptions—may render offices unable to operate normally, severely impacting business continuity. In such situations, enterprises urgently need to enable fast and secure remote access to corporate IT systems for employees (e.g., working from home) to ensure uninterrupted business operations.
Many assume that a simple VPN can solve the problem, but in reality, remote access requires more thorough planning and stricter security controls. Key reasons include:
- Increased BYOD Risks: Many remote computers are unmanaged personal devices, creating a large attack surface and exposing IT infrastructure to malware, advanced threats, and zero-day attacks.
- Access Control Requirements: User identities must be strictly authenticated, and application access must be finely controlled so that users are authorized only for designated resources.
- Security Monitoring Needs: All remote access activities must be monitored and logged to prevent sensitive data leakage.
- Challenges with Legacy Applications: Some legacy applications cannot be accessed directly over the internet and require desktop and application virtualization technologies to enable rapid remote access without major changes to existing systems.
