How prepared is your organization when it comes to supporting, securing and managing your users working from home?
With all that’s going on in the world today, the remote workforce is growing larger by the day and you need to look closely at your processes, network and hardware to ensure productivity can continue with employees working from home.
Some IT Administrators may be caught off guard. This could be due to existing management tools, such as SCCM, not supporting users unless they are connected to the corporate WAN and are not optimized to function well over the Virtual Private Networks (VPNs). IT Administrators should be concerned about their existing toolsets overloading the VPN when combined with an increase in remote users.
When users are remote, how are you going to:
- Authorize and Install Applications?
- Install patch updates to prevent security breaches?
- Onboard and Offboard employees?
- Remote control users to train and support their needs?
- Transition desktop users’ files and settings to VDI/Citrix?
- Identify and authorize users and approve access?
- Manage the inevitable deluge on the helpdesk team?
- Manage the movement of assets/devices going home?
- Respond to compliance reporting?
- Plan for business continuity?
Our partners have solutions that can help configure, secure and support your sudden increase in remote end users, whether your organization is using a Citrix/VDI or VPN approach. Review your current situation and see if products from Ivanti, Okta, Imperva and other software solutions would benefit you in the new world order.
