In an age of global business with multinational companies with worldwide branches and offices,
organizations need to find out solutions to protect their business from any form of disruptions. The
business environment being very technologically sound, every new innovation is adopted by these
organizations to face the aggressively competitive world. However, the highly techno savvy and
networked work environment meant for easy access of information and data across regions need to be
secure from every aspect.
The expansion of business globally has also brought in a new group – the mobile workforce. To provide
them with an anytime anywhere access to the corporate network and to the their office desktops, software
professionals have worked out business continuity remote access solutions. However, with an
increasingly mobile workforce, and an equally increasing number of applications accessible from a
number of devices, organizations need to work out secure remote access solutions. A virtual private
network (VPN) is used by a number of organizations in their attempt to allow remote users to connect to
the corporate network. Though VPNs use encryption to simulate direct network connectivity, the security
levels of this system when in transit or in commonplace is questionable.
Further, in their attempt to empower the mobile workforce, the leading players in the industry have also
worked out solutions that would ensure a secure remote access. Such appliance based remote
access solutions will boost the productivity levels of the employees. Not only will such solutions provide
them a flexibility of work timings, it gives them the freedom to work on their office desktops from any
location, from any device but under secure conditions. Further, this solution does not make use of any
VPN user base additions or additional infrastructure.
With an increasing number of hand held devices through which gives access to the corporate network,
the requirement for both security and mobility has only increased. The Universal Access Controllers can
provide such enterprise level of flexibility, security and performance solutions for a secure remote access.
Through such appliance-based remote desktop access solution, data leakage is prevented, as data
never leaves the corporate network irrespective of the location or device use by the employees. Further, it
makes use of the existing desktop application and security environment. Besides, with device
compatibility, end-point control, multiple access and clientless identity based access, these remote
desktop access appliances offers higher security levels than the legacy VPN which provide encryption
based secure access.
