Remote Workers

Secure access and optimize performance for your workforce

Support remote workers, wherever they may be

A shift in workforce arrangements means that organizations must secure remote workers and anyone else who requires access. That is a challenge as the recent rapid demand for such arrangements has stressed legacy remote access systems, which are not designed to secure remote workers, protect endpoints, or remotely access applications. But by implementing a zero trust architecture, enterprises can adapt to heavily remote workforces, support existing infrastructures, and enhance security all at once.

Merlin helps organizations design secure support for a variety of needs and ensures remote worker identities are properly authenticated. We do this while utilizing current VPNs and existing infrastructure, meaning there’s no need to rip and replace legacy systems. See how we can help your organization secure remote workers with solutions that solve immediate needs today while enabling you to scale and adapt for the future.

Identity-centric security for the enterprise

IT modernization is driving security professionals to re-think how they are protecting their systems and data. Remote and mobile workers are increasingly accessing data and applications in the cloud from devices that may be outside of their organizations’ visibility and control. Malicious insiders or even unsuspecting ones may be accessing and exfiltrating data without their knowledge.

Identity-centric security is critical to protecting sensitive enterprise systems, assets, and information from unauthorized access or use by only allowing authorized access to:

Data and information: Sensitive customer, business, supplier, or other data, stored on local servers, in the cloud, or elsewhere.
Software and applications: Systems used by employees, customers, suppliers, partner businesses, and others.
Development, testing, staging, and operational platforms: All IT environments used for product and service development, launch, and operations.
Devices: Laptops, desktops, smartphones, tablets, IoT, and other devices.
Locations: Business locations including private office spaces, data centers, and secure locations.
Integrations: Data that is being transmitted, received, stored, or otherwise interacted with as it moves between different areas.

Effective IAM solutions include single sign-on (SSO), multi-factor authentication (MFA), and privileged access management (PAM) capabilities that enable security professionals to:

Record, capture, and authenticate user login information
Manage the employee database of users and job roles
Allow for addition, deletion, and change of individual users and broader job roles
Provide a history of login and systems access for audit purposes
Allow for properly-segmented definitions and access controls for every part of the organization’s systems and data
Track user activities across all systems and data
Report on user activities
Enforce systems access policies
