Mobile workforce, a new world
LAN, by its very nature, could not support workers' connectivity to their home networks. Cloud based technology keeps everyone in touch, whether they are at home or on the road. How does a mobile workforce maintain connectivity yet not threaten network security? Mobile workforce solutions restart firewalls and security software if they are shut down by either the user or a virus. Actually, mobile workforce solutions are quite effective at preventing non compliant laptops or handhelds from connecting with the network at all. 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.
