With digital transformation a constantly evolving reality for the modern organization, businesses are called upon to manage complex workloads across multiple public and private clouds—in addition to their on-premises systems. The upside of the hybrid cloud strategy is that businesses can benefit from both lowered costs and dramatically increased agility and flexibility. The problem, however, is maintaining a secure environment through challenges like data security, regulatory compliance, external threats to the service provider, rogue IT usage and issues related to lack of visibility into the provider’s infrastructure.
Find out how to optimize your hybrid cloud workload through system hardening, incident detection, active defense and mitigation, quarantining and more. Plus, learn how to ensure protection and performance in your environment through an ideal hybrid cloud workload protection solution that:
• Provides the necessary level of protection for different workloads• Delivers an essential set of technologies• Is structured as a comprehensive, multi-layered solution• Avoids performance degradation for services or users• Supports compliance by satisfying a range of regulation requirements• Enforces consistent security policies through all parts of hybrid infrastructure• Enables ongoing audit by integrating state of security reports• Takes account of continuous infrastructure changes
With times changing continuously in the tech world, more and more workloads are moving to the cloud and a VPN solution is becoming outdated - services are no longer just located in your office or data center, but a hybrid combination of on-premises and public cloud services. Leveraging cloud-based solutions means that your company can centrally control access to applications while reinforcing security.
As an affordable all-in-one VDI solution, Parallels RAS allows users to securely access virtual workspaces from anywhere, on any device, anytime. Parallels RAS centralizes management of the IT infrastructure, streamlines multi-cloud deployments, enhances data security, and improves process automation.
As more and more organizations shift toward cloud-based global workforces, traditional desktop provisioning options like on-premise VDI, desktop-as-a-service, VPN and shipping laptops have been exposed as costly, slow to implement, and not very secure.
So what can organizations do to quickly and securely provision remote workers and third-party suppliers across the world?
This Guide investigates the next stage of digital transformation: the deployment by organizations of a global workforce, not confined to a traditional office space, through secure and compliant cloud VDI.
It explores why secure and compliant cloud VDI provides a virtual security posture akin to your company’s brick-and-mortar office, and for enterprises looking to implement VDI, real-world use cases in the areas of supply chain security, global workforce enablement, business continuity and disaster recovery, and more.
With more and more employers turning to global talent pools to meet their labor needs, and the rise of remote working following COVID-19, the Internet is fast becoming the workplace of the future. What does this mean for enterprises — especially when the destructive potential of data breaches, malware and other cyberthreats are on the rise?
How do you protect a workplace with no borders? This eBook explores the opportunities associated with adopting a global workforce, takes a deep dive into the threats this model presents, and problems related to some of the current solutions. For enterprises that are looking for advice on how to securely onboard remote, freelance or contract workers, or third-party service providers, this eBook offers four of the critical best practices for securing the workplace of the future.
How secure, compliant SaaS-based environments enable and sustain virtual work.
Secure, compliant SaaS-based work environments are specifically built to facilitate fast provisioning of globally distributed teams and a virtual workforce anywhere on the planet with an internet connection. The cloud elasticity of the Tehama platform, for example, means it can scale up or down quickly as needed, with virtual offices, rooms and desktops provisioned in minutes – a far cry from most virtual desktop infrastructure (VDI) or desktop-as-a-service (DaaS) offerings, which usually require weeks or even months to set up and configure.Tehama’s secure perimeters, automated encryption, continuous malware protection, and network segregation maintains the highest level of security while running in any web browser on any device. It’s also SOC 2 Type II certified, ensuring airtight compliance through built-in controls, forensic auditing and activity monitoring.Put simply, SaaS-based virtual work environments are the fastest, easiest, most secure way to deploy – and sustain – a virtual workforce. The data is telling us that remote work through distributed, global teams isn’t just a fad. It’s here to stay and will likely become more popular than ever in 2020 and beyond. The only question now is which organizations are best positioned to take advantage.Managing Remote Access in the Age of the Digital Workforce explores the history of remote work, and later looks at how to make sure that your corporate assets are secure while employees, contractors and third-party service providers are working from any location.
