Security Outcomes Study, Volume 2

IT professionals from across the globe identify the five key practices that can boost your security.

Give employees access. Give yourself a break

Our best-in-class technologies bring the difficulties of remote work to an end.

IT barriers down. Productivity up

A better remote work experience starts with a better IT cloud platform.

1. Make sure your VPN gateways can accommodate the increase in remote access users

Cisco Firepower Threat Defence and ASA appliances have a platform limit for concurrent connected users, which scales with platform size. You should review the published datasheets for your perimeter appliances to be sure that they can accommodate the number of remote access users you require. You can contact us if you are unsure of how to do this.

2. Review your AnyConnect licensing

Once you are satisfied that your perimeter platforms can handle the number of remote access users you will require, check the current state of your AnyConnect licensing. As of the release of AnyConnect version 4.x, licensing for AnyConnect has migrated to Cisco’s new Smart Licensing platform.

4. Only provide access to the internal resources required

Whilst an increase in remote access workers typically requires an increase in the access to resources provided, it is more important than ever to expose the minimum required internal resources to allow your employees to work.

5. Evaluate if a multi-factor authentication solution is required to further secure remote access

Increasing the number of remote users widens the risk of illegitimate access being gained to internal resources through compromised user credentials. If you do not have an MFA solution currently in place, consider an evaluation of Cisco Duo which can provide additional authentication via mobile device, biometrics or security key.

Final note..

With the business world rapidly transitioning to remote work, ensuring that employees can work from home securely and efficiently is vital.
