to ensure that the networks,
applications, and devices used
in telecommunications are
accessible and secure:

13. Step 1:
Gain Management / Control
of Remote Devices

14. TheOldFashionedWay:
Using Microsoft AD
and building a
VPN tunnel between
the device and the
home office.
It was a tough time to
be an IT Admin.

15. The Modern Way:
Effectively manage remote
workers and devices with
bridging technology.

16. The Modern Way:
It all takes place on the cloud…
But you can still use Microsoft AD!

17. The Modern Way:
An agent is placed in each remote device, which
acts as a bridge back to the central directory.

18. The Modern Way:
Admins get full control over each remote
device from their central AD instance without
getting a headache!

19. Step 2:
Secure Access to Your
Remote Network

20. Employ directory services in order to
gain new security powers! Including...

21. 1. Rotating passwords
2. Account lockout
3. Local firewall configurations
4. Browser privacy
5. Security settings.

22. IT admins simply create a script
and then can execute it on all
of their devices.

23. Step 3:
Provide Access to Both Internal
and External Applications

24. Far away employees still need
their IT resources to be close-up.

25. Remote workers must have access to to their
tools and to critical information while still
remaining secure.
