Vodafone has introduced
Vodafone Secure Remote Access to help firms deliver
secure mobile connectivity to their staff over any access
network.
Vodafone said the new service will benefit business managers by
reducing the risk of corporate security breaches, managing
regulatory compliance via policy control, while also improving
productivity and business continuity.
Vodafone Secure Remote Access enables remote workers with
laptops or desktop PCs to connect securely to their office computer
systems via one simple user interface, and from multiple worldwide
access technologies, including wireless mobile broadband, fixed
dial-up and ISDN, public and private Wi-Fi, hotel broadband, and
home broadband.
Vodafone said the service would help firms enforce company IT
security policies. For example, IT departments can set up Vodafone
Secure Remote Access to prohibit internet browsing and “tear down”
prohibited applications, such as consumer instant messaging.
Kyle Whitehill, enterprise director of Vodafone UK, said,
“Changing work patterns are resulting in the increasing use of
remote access from an ever-widening range of locations, networks
and devices.
“With the launch of Vodafone Secure Remote Access, we are
helping our customers to cut a path through this maze with a
solution that is simple, very secure and which puts control firmly
back in the hands of the IT manager.”
Tariffs to use the service are variable, according to the type
of access needed.
