Mobile workforce solutions, the basic primer
Cloud based technology maintains that connectivity, regardless of whether workers are at home or on the road. And how does that mobile workforce maintain its connection in a way that doesn't threaten the security of the network? Mobile workforce solutions can restart firewalls and anti virus software in the event either is shut down virally or by the user. In fact, mobile workforce solutions can prevent non compliant endpoints from connecting with the network altogether. The visibility component of mobile workforce solutions enables IT departments to monitor worker endpoint use, particularly whether they are downloading questionable applications or connecting to the network through unsecure hotspots at coffee shops or airport lounges. No discussion of 21st Century network security would be complete without a mention of the threats that originate from sources that are out of our control.
