How To Implement Bay Area Remote Access

If you are a network or IT administrator of a company and you provide Bay Area remote access to your internal infrastructure, then you must take into consideration that this is one of your biggest security threats and give extreme consideration on how to protect your network.

Bay area remote access is sometimes mandatory and can be used for lots of reasons. Maybe you are outsourcing some of your business to an external partner, maybe you require external technical support, or maybe you have employees on the road or tele-workers that require access to internal data and resources in your company.

In any case, you must take some measures to protect your data and network, but still keep the operation of your bay area remote access service as functional as possible. Here are some of the most important guidelines to follow in order to protect your bay area remote access services.

Tell everyone that your bay area remote access service will be treated with the same consideration as an on-site connection. You need to try to use IPSEC-VPN for your Bay Area remote access method, using the highest encryption AES. You have to enforce a strong password policy for bay area remote access, with at least ten character including alphanumeric and special characters. You should try to use One Time Passwords - OTP - where possible. You should also terminate all bay area remote access to a centralized infrastructure in order to have better control and monitoring. You should also limit the access of the remote users just to what they require. For example you can limit the access to only the internal mail server and prohibit the access to other internal resources. For the employees who take their laptop to work from home, these employees are responsible to prohibit their family members from using the bay area remote access connection or even the business laptop for any reason.
