Need to revisit your remote work strategy?

I think we can all agree that the COVID-19 pandemic has changed the way that we work essentially overnight. To add to the confusion many organizations are realizing the inadequacy of their remote work options. Yes, something that might have been downsized, overlooked, or cut out of the last big network overhaul entirely is now a critical lifeline required to keep you in business.

This can manifest itself in a number of ways. A shortage of company laptops may require you to consider a bring your own device (BYOD) approach. This may be a good stopgap measure but how do you roll it out and more importantly how do you secure it? In another instance, a solution that worked fine with a few hundred people using it daily is now struggling to keep up, or worse yet, breaking down as you attempt to scale it to thousands. There are bandwidth constraints, on boarding problems, access issues, traffic visibility concerns, security implications, overwhelmed help desks, and the list goes on.

So what are you to do? You need answers and a plan now. I suggest reaching out to Force 3. (https://www.force3.com/) I've worked for Force 3 nearly eight years now with a focus on Data Center and Enterprise Networks. I will say that we have some of the best and the brightest in the industry working there. Security or remote access should never be an afterthought. Ideally they are designed into a network with vision and intent to provide a more holistic overall network solution.

Force 3 securely designs, deploys, and supports the technology needs for the world’s most important customer – the U.S. Federal Government. As the network security company, we offer technology solutions and services to help federal defense, civilian, and intelligence agencies achieve mission success. Along with our parent company Sirius Computer Solutions (https://www.siriuscom.com/), we can craft a solution to meet the requirements of any organization in need.
