Secure Remote Access

Provide authorised users with secure access to data and applications with Computacenter's cost-effective and integrated Secure Remote Access services

A service component of our Secure Information solution.

What we do

To enable effective remote working, users need access to a growing array of applications and information. This accessibility, however, must be balanced with security to ensure that both customer and corporate data are not compromised.

Computacenter's Secure Remote Access services not only enable employees to gain secure access to core data and applications but also authorised partners, customers and suppliers.

We will evaluate the most appropriate user authentication and authorisation approach for your organisation, and help you leverage solutions, such as single sign-on solutions and federation.

As well as establishing a technology platform that enables secure remote access, Computacenter will identify and implement automated processes and tools to simplify ongoing management of user privileges and identities.

We can also help to integrate your identity and access management strategy with other security measures to maximise data protection levels.

Our expertise includes end point security as well as virtual private networks and the use of authentication token devices.

How it helps

Computacenter will simplify and strengthen your organisation's security to enable cost-effective and efficient remote access for employees, partners, customers and suppliers. This results in:

Reduced risk: Your organisation will be able to minimise the risk of data loss, which can result in financial penalties and reputational damage. This will help to maintain shareholder and customer confidence and safeguard regulatory compliance.

Lower costs: By adopting technologies, such as single sign-on, you can reduce the administration associated with identity and access management. This will free up resources and reduce the IT support overhead.

Greater agility: By establishing a secure and scalable remote access solution, you will be able to add more users and applications to your existing framework without the need for additional investment or development. This will help to reduce the time-to-market for new applications and customer services.

Why we are different

Our Secure Remote Access services are pragmatic and vendor independent. They are all based on the same solid foundations:

Skilled resources: Computacenter has a dedicated Networking and Security Practice with fully qualified BS7799 and CISSP consultants. The practices are supported by more than 1,800 engineers.

Breadth and depth of scope: We have more than 20 years' experience of networking and security, and can provide end-to-end support – from solution evaluation and design to implementation and management. Our Secure Remote Access services are closely integrated with our other networking and security offerings to enable customers to take a unified approach to data protection.

Quality of partnership: We have long-term relationships with a number of vendors, including RSA, Symantec, Checkpoint, Cisco, Juniper, Palo Alto, Tipping Point, Websense and McAfee. We continually update our security solution portfolio to reflect changing regulatory frameworks and evolving technologies and threats.

Where we have done it

AEGON
Computacenter helped AEGON develop a secure and effective remote access solution using a virtual private network, two-factor user recognition and personal laptop firewalls.

User authentication is based on a PIN and unique token from a personal RSA key fob, which changes every 60 seconds.

As well as managing the environment on
a day-to-day basis, Computacenter is responsible for the strategic direction of the solution and for enhancing its architecture to ensure it continues to meet the needs of the sales team.

AEGON's sales teams can now access information from the company's extranet while on-site with their customers. They also have the flexibility to work from any location, which means they are less reliant on physical access to an office.

"Computacenter has developed a secure and scalable solution that will support our current and future mobility needs,"
Sandra Tuddenham, Head of IT, AEGON UK
