Q. Have you empowered your workforce with a robust and secure remote access service?
should ideally enable secure access via web browser or client application to virtually all of your company applications. This access should also be flexible enough to allow connectivity through access policies for customers, partners or suppliers. Home working also reduces the need for costly office space and improves your companies green credentials.
Many solutions can be installed discretely into your existing infrastructure without the need for complex changes or disruption. Further resilient high availability options are also available depending upon your businesses needs.
Take a look at our Remote Access Case Studies for real life examples of how Shield IT Solutions have helped companies install solutions for flexible working and remote support.
Q. If you already have secure remote access, does it actually satisfy your requirements?
Why not let one of our experienced consultants review your existing remote solutions to ensure that you are making the most of its potential. For instance...
If you already have a remote access solution, are you maximising its capabilities, does it have enough capacity to cope with the demand and is it as secure as you think?
You may not have a working solution currently, but if you have an existing firewall then you may be able to set this up for remote access as a simple and very cost effective solution.

Q. Do you employ strong two-factor authentication?
In simple terms, this takes away the reliance on your staff to remember complex passwords, or worse write them down somewhere that they can be easily found. Often unless they are set by a systems administrator, or you enforce strong password policy, these passwords will never be changed and become simply the name of a family member or pet. After all we are all human; not all of your staff may appreciate the importance of IT systems security and you’re only as secure as your weakest link.
For secure remote access the need and importance of strong authentication becomes much greater. Here your user's passwords far more likely to be subject to brute force or dictionary types of attack.
Typically two-factor authentication works on the premise of something a user knows i.e. their system username and pin and something they don't know being a one-time passcode provided by a hardware or software token. For more information please read our pages on strong authentication or alternatively contact us now to see how we can help re-enforce your IT security with strong two-factor authentication.
Get prepared now and place secure remote access into your businesses winter survival kit.
The cold snap last winter caused chaos for commuters, making it difficult or potentially dangerous for staff to get into your offices and leaving many stranded at home unable to work.
Our businesses reportedly lost a £1billion a day because of the chaos caused to the UK infrastructure. Though we are no strangers to these sudden sharp changes in weather, we never seem to be ready for them. Perhaps this is because they are so quickly forgotten, even though the damage to business is much longer lasting. However, you can easily be better prepared and provide more flexible working for your employees, this is how....
