The current pandemic scenario has made most companies adopt the home office for part or the whole team. But if productivity was already impaired in the form of conventional work, it became even worse with remote work. Employees are in their homes, without any supervision and control, and often making remote access without any security tools.
VPN is a great way to remotely access the files and data from your business equipment and also safely surf the internet, therefore, a tool to avoid cyber attacks, solving safety problems. In addition, with Lumiun's business VPN, it is also possible to control the internet access to employees who are working at home.
Over the past few weeks we talked a lot about VPN:
- What is and what are the best options
- Advantages of Virtual Private Network (VPN) for companies
- How to make mobile connection
For the tranquility of managers, there is a possibility to monitor remote access to increase team productivity. You must be wondering how this can be done? I will explain, in a very simple way, below.
Establish a VPN connection
To monitor remote access, the initial step is to establish a VPN connection to the equipment of the entire home office team. We set up a guide with all steps so that you can make the connection in a very simple way.
After establishing the VPN connection, the user's computer that is at home or some other place outside the company's premises will be connected to the internal network. This can establish a remote desktop connection to the computer that is connected to the company's network, and can also access the files and systems of internal network servers and computers in a safer way.
Lumiun Control Panel
So that you can monitor which users are connected via VPN as well as which sites the user is accessing, you must login on the Lumiun Control Panel with an administrator user account.
Permissions
In order for a user to make the VPN connection, you must, as an administrator, release the connection.
Already in the panel of Lumun's business VPN, enable VPN and users who are allowed for such a connection.
Monitoring
You can monitor which users have established a VPN connection. Thus, you can know which ones are connected to the company's server or equipment.
Access control
This is where magic happens. The user who establishes a Lumiun VPN connection will have all access to any type of monitored site. In the Lumiun Control Panel, there is a real -time report of access per user.
Access rules
In addition to monitoring, it is possible for the Director or Technical Responsible, to set rules for access to specific websites and also at specific times.
Note that you can determine which sites cannot be accessed. Thus, the access block is done automatically, without the possibility of breaking the rule.
In addition, you can determine which times access to social networks for example are released for access. Suppose the work interval in the afternoon, according to your company's guidelines, is between 16:00 and 16:30. Access to websites that are not in the scope of work will be released only at this time, as you can see in the image below.
Security
In addition to monitoring remote access, improving employee focus and distraction, control of access to rules websites, inhibits access to harmful websites and downloading malicious files. The equipment the employee is making access is more protected, as well as the company data and information that is stored there.
Conclusion
We know that in the current economic scenario in the country, there are numerous concerns. But I believe that data security in companies may be weakened, with so many professionals working remotely and making remote access to sensitive data from the company. In addition, I have seen many entrepreneurs from various different branches concerned with productivity that is gradually being reduced with the lack of access control at remote work. Thus, I believe that this article has solved doubts and served as “relief” of a relevant concern of entrepreneurs and responsible technicians.
To the next!
