A glimpse into secure remote access

What is Secure Remote Access

Secure remote access enables safe connections to your company’s business resources for your remote employees.

It creates encrypted links between your remote employee devices and the business network, ensuring important information stays private and safe from potential threats.

Controlled Access to Resources

Secure remote access allows businesses to define who can reach specific resources, ensuring that only authorized users can connect to critical systems, reducing the risk of unauthorized access.

Security and Productivity

It’s perfect for teams working from home, on the go, or across different locations. For businesses, it means supporting flexible work while keeping security and productivity in check.

Use cases of Secure Remote Access

When Secure Remote Access is Needed?

Secure remote access ensures smooth business operations with robust data protection, supporting flexible work and secure connections in critical situations.

Remote Work and Hybrid Teams

Secure remote access solutions are essential for remote and hybrid employees, enabling secure access to cloud or on-premise business resources, and maintaining productivity and safety.

Accessing Sensitive Company Data

Secure remote access safeguards sensitive business data from interception when transferred over the open internet, reducing the risk of data breaches while ensuring safe remote operations.

Third-Party Vendor Access

Granting remote access to external vendors or contractors can be risky without control. Secure remote access management simplifies providing limited, secure access, minimizing risks.

Field Work and Engineering Teams

Field and engineering teams need secure remote access to protect sensitive data, like blueprints or system diagnostics, from interception while working remotely.

Access to Operational Technology

Industries needing secure remote access for operational tech, like manufacturing and utilities, must monitor systems remotely to ensure smooth operations and prevent cyber-attacks.

BYOD (Bring Your Own Device) Usage

When employees use personal devices for work, secure remote access prevents data breaches by protecting sensitive company information from interception on unsecured or home networks.

Frequently Asked Questions

Secure remote access enables safe connectivity to company resources from anywhere. It establishes encrypted connections using solutions like VPNs or ZTNA, safeguarding data during transit and ensuring that only authorized users can access critical files and applications.
Secure remote access protocols are technologies and standards designed to ensure safe and encrypted connections to remote resources. Protocols such as OpenVPN, WireGuard, and IPsec utilize advanced encryption to protect data and enable secure communication. Selecting the right protocol depends on your specific security requirements and performance priorities.
When choosing a secure remote access solution, consider factors such as the number of remote users, data sensitivity, and network architecture. UTunnel offers two flexible solutions: MeshConnect, perfect for multi-site connectivity, and Zero Trust Network Access (ZTNA), which doesn’t require a static IP for deployment, and Access Gateway, a comprehensive solution that integrates advanced VPN capabilities with strong access control, scalability, and seamless support for both on-premises and cloud-based environments. Both solutions are designed to address a wide range of security and connectivity requirements effectively.
Zero Trust strengthens secure remote access by granting access based on user identity and specific resource requirements, offering better granularity compared to traditional VPNs. This model provides superior control over what each user can access, reducing the risk of unauthorized access and ensuring more secure connections overall.
Yes, secure remote access can effectively support OT systems across various industries. UTunnel’s MeshConnect enhances OT security by enabling safe, authorized access to remote sensors or devices, even in environments with dynamic IPs, often using 4G or 5G connections. This eliminates the need for static IPs while ensuring secure monitoring and protection of OT systems from potential threats.
To ensure your data is safe when accessed remotely, it’s crucial to implement strong security measures. UTunnel uses AES-256 encryption, one of the most secure encryption methods available, to protect your data during transit. Additionally, Two-Factor Authentication (2FA) adds an extra layer of protection by requiring users to verify their identity with a second form of authentication. Single Sign-On (SSO) streamlines secure access by allowing users to authenticate once for multiple services while ensuring that only authorized users can access sensitive information. These security protocols, combined with secure access policies, help protect your data from unauthorized access and threats.
The choice between Cloud VPN and On-Premise VPN depends on where your business resources are hosted. Cloud VPNs are hosted on cloud infrastructure, offering easy setup, scalability, and lower upfront costs. They are ideal for businesses with cloud-based resources or those seeking flexibility without managing physical hardware. On the other hand, On-Premise VPNs require on-site hardware, giving you complete control over the network and its security, making them suitable for businesses with sensitive data or on-premise resources. UTunnel offers both options, including BYOS (Bring Your Own Server), allowing you to bring your own cloud servers or use on-premise hardware to tailor the solution to your needs.
