Removing The Barriers To Remote Access In Your Business
While more and more organizations are now providing their employees with the ability to work from home using remote access technologies, there are still many businesses who are hesitant to provide employees with remote access. This article will examine some of the common reasons why companies don’ t provide employees with PC remote access and how I’m InTouch overcomes them.
Perceived High Costs
For many businesses, especially small to medium-sized ones, there are concerns that providing employees with remote access is going to be very costly. This is not without warrant as many other remote access solutions, can be quite costly. Especially something like a VPN where you have to start purchasing additional hardware and maybe even hiring somebody to set it up for you as well.
With I’m InTouch, everything is covered for one low monthly or annual fee of about $10 a month or $100 a year per PC. All your support is included as well as product updates. Anybody can set the solution up in minutes and there is no need for expensive additional hardware.
Security Concerns
A business’ data is its lifeblood. Company documents, employee records, customer information, and all other private data must stay confidential at all costs. This is why some organizations are so hesitant to provide employees with access to such information outside the office. It’s also why many businesses forbid the use of laptops since a lost or stolen laptop could mean sensitive information falling into the wrong hands.
I’m InTouch includes incredible security features that protect company information from unauthorized users. First, I’m InTouch includes multiple passwords to protect workstations against unauthorized access and the passwords are never stored on any outside servers. All remote access data is encrypted using 128-bit SSL to ensure no can snoop in on your remote session. Users can also choose to add the SecureKEY that acts as a physical authentication key to prevent any unauthorized remote access. If the SecureKEY is not present, no remote access is possible - even if someone knows your login information.
