Creating a Strategy for Secure Remote Work

With all of the changes in the world taking place over the past couple years, hybrid and remote work has become a way of life for a large number of people. While this is a fantastic option for some, it comes with its own set of complexities and security risks that leave IT professionals feeling the pressure.

When it comes to the management of a remote workforce, there are many things to take into account, such as managing permissions, ensuring secure access, fighting for visibility into remote networks, and scaling to meet the changing demands of your business. Security is key for an effective remote work strategy to work.

Cisco Meraki has been working on solutions to these problems for the better half of the last decade. Introducing the Z Series cloud-managed teleworker gateway: a device that enables IT teams to connect, secure, and troubleshoot remote workers from the same platform as branch, campus, and IoT.

The Meraki Z4 can provide unique benefits to your remote work strategy:

• IT teams enjoy zero-touch provisioning for thousands of remote employees with robust monitoring features and blanketed enterprise-grade security that effectively turns each home office into a mini-branch.
• Remote workers benefit from a sleek, quiet desktop gateway that boosts their overall WFH experience through improved application quality.
• The business benefits from a reliable, long-term remote work strategy that widens their hiring pool, retains top talent, and mitigates a growing security risk.
