Business VPNs and telecommuting: A solution to strengthen your digital security

Telecommuting means being able to connect remotely to a company’s applications and services. Your employees use various devices or unsecured internet networks. You have no guarantee regarding the security practices they may be following. This puts your business and your sensitive data at risk. With a business VPN, you can ensure network security, regardless of your employees’ devices and habits.

The operation of a business VPN is very simple. A VPN is a virtual private network, accessible only to authorised users. Your employees connect to business resources via a secure tunnel. The connection between the user’s computer and the remote server is designed to prevent any malicious intrusion.
Access to sensitive business information is strictly controlled. Data in transit (communications, files, documents, etc.) is encrypted from end to end. Encryption is a key asset in your IT security strategy.

Choosing the right secure VPN for the best protection

Obtaining effective protection for your business applications and resources means choosing a secure, sovereign VPN. Adopt a solution with advanced features to protect the confidentiality of your sensitive information. You can provide your employees with a secure work environment by ensuring that all remote computer connections are protected.

Your virtual private network solution must provide your business with a comprehensive and secure solution. It must be compatible with all devices (PC, mobile phone and tablet). All connections (4G, home internet network, public Wi-Fi, etc.) must also allow access to the business VPN. This means you can offer your employees a complete service. They can access the company’s networks with the same level of security, whether they are working remotely or in the office.

You can also choose a secure, sovereign solution. Services hosted on servers in France or Europe provide additional guarantees for data confidentiality. You benefit from the protection offered by strict European regulations on data processing. You also ensure your compliance with data security requirements, in particular those of the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR).

A business VPN and telecommuting go hand in hand. Choose secure solutions offered by ERCOM and approved by ANSSI, the French national agency for information systems security, to ensure a high level of security and confidentiality.
