Secure Offshoring and Outsourcing
As more businesses rely on offshore development or service centers and move to outsource IT, engineering, or other functions, they open themselves to a greater risk of “insiders” gaining access to sensitive information.
The key issues are:
- IT has limited visibility into offshore locations
- physical access controls are often weaker in offshore locations
- outsourced functions demand “outsiders” have extensive network access
- business-critical data at headquarters is exposed to a much broader and less known audience
ConSentry gives you network access control so you can benefit from the efficiencies of offshoring and outsourcing without compromising your company’s security. With ConSentry’s LANShield platforms, you can:
- automatically recognize users in offshore locations or outsourced functions
- automatically apply access controls based on the user’s role
- scan machines for malware
- restrict which HQ data the offshore workers can reach
- limit the applications and servers outsourced workers can access
And best of all, you can implement these controls in a ConSentry appliance, with no changes to your existing LAN, or in a secure switch, providing full per-port control at HQ and remote sites.
