Security is the number one priority when using remote access software. If users do not feel the remote access to their workstations is secure, they will simply not install the software on their machines. Our computers contain too much sensitive information to take any chances that someone could gain unauthorized access to them.

This is why I’m InTouch Premium includes the option to enable Physical Authentication using the SecureKEY and SecurePC. Building on the already impressive 2-stage security in I’m InTouch Premium, users can choose to add the SecureKEY and SecurePC to ensure that under absolutely no circumstances is unauthorized remote access to their PC possible.

By activating a SecureKEY on a computer with I’m InTouch Premium installed, remote access from another computer will require that specific SecureKEY be inserted into the USB slot. This means that even if someone were to compromise your I’m InTouch login information, they would be unable to remotely access your PC. For even more security, you can require that the only device which can remotely access your computer be the SecurePC.

All this security does not make remotely accessing your PC any more difficult or time consuming. All that is required is plugging your SecureKEY into the computer you want to use to remotely access your PC. If you have held off installing remote access software onto your PC due to security concerns, you can now remotely access your computer with complete confidence that no one else will.

A study by the Ponemon Institute and Intel found that the average cost of replacing a lost laptop is $49,246 when you factor in such costs as replacement, data breach and lost intellectual property. This number may seem high but when you consider how valuable the information stored on a corporate laptop is it begins to sound a lot more reasonable. The dollar amount also does not take into account the headaches and stress that come with explaining to employees, customers, shareholders and the public that your business lost their confidential information.

I'm InTouch SecurePC Remote Access Terminal

A smarter way to allow employees to work from outside the office is using the I’m InTouch SecurePC Remote Access Terminal. SecurePC users can remotely control their office workstation from anywhere using the I’m InTouch remote access service. No files can be saved to the terminal and all data stays safely on the workstation in the office behind your corporate firewall. This means that if a SecurePC is lost, the only cost is replacing the hardware - About $600, a lot less than the nearly $50,000 cost of replacing a laptop with information stored on it.

I'm InTouch Remote Email

I’m InTouch  includes a handy feature that allows you to access your remote email from your cell phone or wireless device. From any wireless device with an Internet connection and browser, you can remotely access your Outlook, Outlook Express, or Windows Mail on your desktop computer to read, send,  and compose emails, even with attachments.

Not only does this provide incredible convenience, it also allows you to keep all your emails, calendar  and contact information in one place.  Any emails you send or contact information you change is updated in the Outlook on your computer so you never have to worry about synchronizing information again.

This also provides increased security since if your wireless device is lost or stolen, none of your email or contact information is stored on the device.

Earth Day is a great time to look at ways that we can all reduce our footprints on the environment. There are many ways that using the I’m InTouch remote access software can help you accomplish this. Here are a couple:

Work from Home
Instead of commuting to work everyday, securely remotely control your office workstation from your home PC. You can do from home everything you would normally do on your office workstation including run programs, use Outlook, print documents, and transfer files, all while helping the environment by keeping your car off the road. Even just telecommuting 1 day a week helps but why not 2, 3, 4, or even 5 days? With I’m InTouch, it’s just like being in the office.

Remotely Power On your PC
A huge environmental (as well as financial) benefit of using I’m InTouch Premium or Server Edition is that you can remotely wake-up your PC when you need access.  Leaving your computer on all the time wastes electricity and money. Unlike other remote access solutions, with I’m InTouch you can leave your computer off when it is not in use and still be able to remotely access it as needed.  Whether you are going home for the night or leaving for a long business trip, you can shut your PC down with complete confidence that you can access it as needed with I’m InTouch.
