Enabling a remote workforce

A virtual private network (VPN) lets remote workers operate inside your corporate network as if they were inside your office building.

 

Enabling a remote workforce

Why is this important?

If your team is working remotely, they may still be able to access cloud-based applications. However, it may be challenging or impossible to access corporate data and files. This is by design; you don’t want your most important, private or compliance-regulated data to be compromised.

How do I establish a VPN?

A VPN has two simple components: The corporate network and the remote or home site. The VPN creates a pipe between the corporate network and home site. This extends the network to the home, in effect moving team members’ home offices into your building.

To do this, you create a point of potential, secure access for your network. Kerio Control is your network’s connection point as well as secure firewall defender. Remote workers download or receive a simple Kerio Control VPN client to install on their devices they use to connect to your network. Installing the client takes about two minutes. With the client and their credentials, employees create the secure pipe into your network.
