With Remote Control Tool, Mobile Devices improve productivity and extend the reach of a business
One solution that
enterprises are implementing to avert costs, reduce complexity and improve security
is to avoid putting critical data on the device in the first place. By deploying
a remote control tool, employees can access their important information on mobile
devices directly from their office based workstation. Typical remote control
tool uses screen sharing technology to access data where it resides, instead
of synchronizing it with a device. Maintaining data security has never been
easy, and the profusion of mobile devices in use today has certainly complicated
the task for many IT departments. Providing the appropriate access strategy
enables you to achieve a more responsive, collaborative, connected and protected
workforce.
There
are several security advantages to remote control tool. Data is not compromised
if the device is stolen or lost. Because the data never resides on the mobile
devices itself, it remains secured on your network. This avoids the security
issues present with VPN technologies, which make a device a node on the network.
As long as the user employs secure password practices, confidential information
is protected, even if the device is stolen.
Attacks on the mobile devices will not compromise the data. With a remote control tool solution, it does not establish an unconstrained network connection that can be used to directly access the corporate LAN (unlike a VPN connection), so worms or viruses are isolated on the device and unable to affect data on the corporate network. By offloading much of the implementation effort to a web based, you reduce costs and the load on your security team. A managed remote control service can reduce deployment time because the IT team does not need to implement servers or configure software.
