Coronavirus has inundated the media and overwhelmed our population worldwide. Even though the death rate is at a mere 3% it has caused trouble for much more than those infected by the infamous virus. Events have been canceled, flights grounded, and stores have been bought out of most of their stock. Even workplaces have scrambled in an attempt to minimize the damage.
The world has fallen into a standstill while we all watch as it slowly made its way through our borders. However, the one place it has affected the most besides our hospitals and our homes is our workplace. The only businesses that seem to go unaffected are those that allow their employees to work from the safety of their homes. But how safe are they really?
Millions of companies have been affected by the lack of business continuity and the ability to remain operable, others are more than qualified to stay operable in a remote capacity. They have taken the time to outfit their companies and the technologies of their offices to allow their employees’ accessibility to work from home. All while unknowingly exposing them to security risks and breaches of privacy.
Whether or not your company is one of many at risk of these unforeseen circumstances, Intraspeqt has put in place several services that can assist companies in security measurements necessary to stay in best practices and compliance. Not only allowing you to offer your employees ease of access but confidence in the security of this access.
Our services embark upon the challenges of connecting clients securely through a viable encrypted mechanism. We can offer the following parameters to help in this crisis and proactively conform companies into proper security practices going forward:
- SSL VPN solutions for both on-premise and cloud communication
- Two – Factor Authentications for client and client-less connectivity
- Global [hybrid] communication for distributed environments

COVID-19 (The Coronavirus) may be an epidemic that will very likely come to an end. However, the impact that it has had on our society, especially in our workplaces is something that many more companies need to be more proactive about in their day-to-day. It doesn’t matter if you are a government agency, a doctor’s office, an accountant or a school. The ability to work remotely is something that many more companies are striving to offer but should do so securely and effectively.
We understand the sudden dilemma that could be very cumbersome and will work in unison with your company’s change management and IAM (Identity and Access Management) team to mitigate these issues thoroughly.
