OVERVIEW
What is Secure Remote Access?
Secure Remote Access is essentially the digital key that unlocks productivity for professionals working beyond the traditional office environment without compromising data security. It establishes a secure digital gateway for users to access their work resources—files, apps, networks, and devices—from anywhere, at any time.
Acting like a protective shield, it safeguards sensitive information, strengthening the virtual connections between users and their work environments. This ensures a seamless and secure workflow. With Secure Remote Access solutions, the entire world becomes your office, providing unwavering security as your ally.
SECURE REMOTE ACCESS
How does Secure Remote Access work?
Secure Remote Access is a synergy of multiple solutions that create a virtual and secure bridge between users and an organization’s systems. This includes network connectors coupled with encryption, VPN technologies, IP masking, and multilayered authentication services. It’s like a personalized, fortified tunnel where verified individuals—employees, partners, or contractors—can safely access company resources.
Whether it’s files, applications, databases, or servers they need, this access is available to them no matter where they are. Security measures are deeply ingrained within this access, with systems in place to thwart external threats and ensure that only authorized users can pass through. This digital doorway is thus both a gateway and a guard, facilitating work from afar while keeping potential intruders at bay.

Frequently asked questions
Secure Remote Access combines several security features to ensure only authorized access to business assets and guard against stolen or leaked sensitive information. These features include - but are not limited to - Remote Access VPN, multi-factor authentication (2FA), and Identity & Access Management (IAM).
With the number of global remote users sharply increasing in recent years, organizations are strengthening their security infrastructure with Secure Remote Access tools and adopting revised best practices for mobile users in remote locations.
Secure Remote Access employs technologies like VPN and SSL/TLS for secure data transmission, Remote Desktop Protocol (RDP), VNC, and SSH for remote system control. It utilizes Zero Trust frameworks for continuous authentication and Cloud Firewalls to monitor and control network traffic, ensuring robust security.
There are many ways to implement Secure Remote Access, but there are four key focus areas. Creating a cybersecurity policy at your organization will make your remote employees your first line of defense and ensure they only use company-owned devices. Choosing a Secure Remote Access security product like NordLayer is the next step — make sure to use an adaptive security solution that tailors to the needs of your business. Utilize password management and multi-factor authentication to protect devices used and provide an additional layer of security to the network.
Once all is in place, it’s crucial to replenish cybersecurity knowledge across the company with compulsory cybersecurity training for new starters and regular refresher sessions for your existing staff.
Secure Remote Access can help avoid sensitive data and assets from being in the wrong hands. Cybercriminals can take any form and look to acquire information for personal gain, hold to ransom, or leak into the public domain. It’s more important than ever to safeguard your organization’s remote workforce against an attack where possible, and Secure Remote Access is an excellent place to start.
It is a modern network security solution that enables teams to work safely from anywhere, anytime, and on any device. It creates an encrypted tunnel between resources, endpoint devices, and employees, shielding online activity and safeguarding sensitive areas of the network. With AES-256 bit and ChaCha20 encryption, this solution hides all traffic from eavesdropping, ensuring secure connections. NordLayer's Remote Access VPN guarantees secure access to protected company data for both in-office and remote workers, allowing seamless and controlled connectivity to company resources across any internet connection.
To achieve the most secure remote access, choose solutions with multilayered security. Relying on only one remote access protocol is risky. Ensure your solution also uses VPN technologies to encrypt data during connection and includes strong access controls like multiple Zero Trust features. This ensures safe access through layered authentication.
The safest way to establish remote access is with a multilayered security approach. Relying solely on a remote access protocol without additional protection is unsafe. Opt for a solution with VPN technologies for encryption and robust access controls, like Zero Trust features, to ensure strong, layered authentication.
