There are two primary use cases: site-to-site access, which connects separate locations securely through VPNs, authentication, monitoring, and firewalls, and smart remote access, which allows to connect to devices that don\u2019t support VPN applications.<\/p><p data-testid=\"text\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/images.ctfassets.net\/5natoedl294r\/5RuyQ7O3tVCklKCRKnph46\/1b827cf8557a0b0bb860d05dadbac2f1\/Allow_Remote_Access_To_Your_Office_Network_Without_Compromising_Security_3_1400x830.png?w=828&amp;q=75&amp;fit=fill&amp;fm=webp\" width=\"828\" height=\"491\" \/><\/p><p class=\"Text_text__rSWMU RichText_paragraph__DNqK4 Text_body50___cwDR\" data-testid=\"text\">For site-to-site access, the goal is to encrypt, monitor, and authorize data exchange between locations. In contrast, smart remote access emphasizes dynamic access based on context, seamless maintenance, and timely security updates. <b>Both approaches aim to provide secure and efficient remote connections<\/b> in our ever-evolving digital landscape in which <a class=\"Link_inherit__NP_8V Link_medium__XEV_Z Link_noTextDecoration__GhdxD Link_aTagRoot__8wRP7 Hyperlink_link__umZi8\" href=\"\/en\/saas-access-control\/\">SaaS access control<\/a> is key.<\/p><h3 class=\"Heading_root__vbfeI Heading_heading20__p7mXS Heading_primary__3VZgz Heading_normal__hJuNy RichText_h3__gewqv\" data-testid=\"heading\">Implement IP allowlisting<\/h3><p class=\"Text_text__rSWMU RichText_paragraph__DNqK4 Text_body50___cwDR\" data-testid=\"text\">Allowlisting gives specific applications, IP addresses, or devices permission to access certain resources. This boosts security by only allowing trusted sources. However, managing varying IPs can be tough when remote workers from different global locations access resources.<\/p><p class=\"Text_text__rSWMU RichText_paragraph__DNqK4 Text_body50___cwDR\" data-testid=\"text\">For easier management, this works best when IP allowlisting is combined with Virtual Private Gateways with a fixed IP.

This can be a combination of a password, a device like a phone, or even a fingerprint.<\/p><p class=\"Text_text__rSWMU RichText_paragraph__DNqK4 Text_body50___cwDR\" data-testid=\"text\">With remote work, there are increased risks compared to an office environment. Devices are more susceptible to theft, and ensuring physical workspace security is challenging. MFA serves as a barrier against unauthorized access. <b>Simple tasks might need a password and a text code, but sensitive data requires stronger authentication<\/b>, like combining a password, fingerprint, and a smart card.

While third-party collaboration is unavoidable, it comes with the risk of compromising the network&#8217;s security. Implementing proper protocols and safeguards is vital to ensure the system&#8217;s integrity.<\/p><p class=\"Text_text__rSWMU RichText_paragraph__DNqK4 Text_body50___cwDR\" data-testid=\"text\">Here&#8217;s how you can give third-party network access without jeopardizing security.<\/p><h3 class=\"Heading_root__vbfeI Heading_heading20__p7mXS Heading_primary__3VZgz Heading_normal__hJuNy RichText_h3__gewqv\" data-testid=\"heading\">Clearly define access requirements<\/h3><p class=\"Text_text__rSWMU RichText_paragraph__DNqK4 Text_body50___cwDR\" data-testid=\"text\">Before providing access to your third-party partners, <b>you must outline what resources need access and why<\/b>. This tailored approach to data access minimizes the total attack surface and leaves hackers less wiggle room. In the long run, this helps to minimize the risk of unauthorized access, data breaches, and potentially malicious activities.<\/p><p class=\"Text_text__rSWMU RichText_paragraph__DNqK4 Text_body50___cwDR\" data-testid=\"text\">Still, the company that wants to initiate this access model will require a structured approach. All held networks and their resources must be well-documented for them to work. After that&#8217;s done, third parties can be joined within the infrastructure with lesser privileges.<\/p><h3 class=\"Heading_root__vbfeI Heading_heading20__p7mXS Heading_primary__3VZgz Heading_normal__hJuNy RichText_h3__gewqv\" data-testid=\"heading\">Create separate subnetwork for external partners<\/h3><p class=\"Text_text__rSWMU RichText_paragraph__DNqK4 Text_body50___cwDR\" data-testid=\"text\">Breaking networks into smaller segments can help stop hackers from moving around easily if they get in. It also lets us <b>design specific areas of the network just for outside groups.<\/b> This means the main system is safer if an outsider&#8217;s system is hacked. If an internal system breach happens, it stays within that smaller area and doesn&#8217;t spread everywhere.<\/p><h3 class=\"Heading_root__vbfeI Heading_heading20__p7mXS Heading_primary__3VZgz Heading_normal__hJuNy RichText_h3__gewqv\" data-testid=\"heading\">Use role-based access controls (RBAC)<\/h3><p class=\"Text_text__rSWMU RichText_paragraph__DNqK4 Text_body50___cwDR\" data-testid=\"text\">RBAC restricts system access to authorized users. It&#8217;s essential for managing and controlling access within an organization&#8217;s network, especially when third parties are involved. By setting up roles, it&#8217;s possible to <b>limit third-party access only to the areas necessary for them to fulfill their functions<\/b>. This minimizes the risk of accidental or intentional data misuse, enhancing security.<\/p><p class=\"Text_text__rSWMU RichText_paragraph__DNqK4 Text_body50___cwDR\" data-testid=\"text\">Additionally, RBAC provides a clear record of who has access to what. This can be crucial for auditing and monitoring purposes, making it easier to track who accessed certain resources and when. If an incident does occur, the organization can easily trace back actions to spot individuals or roles.<\/p><h3 class=\"Heading_root__vbfeI Heading_heading20__p7mXS Heading_primary__3VZgz Heading_normal__hJuNy RichText_h3__gewqv\" data-testid=\"heading\">Draft a Comprehensive Security Agreement<\/h3><p class=\"Text_text__rSWMU RichText_paragraph__DNqK4 Text_body50___cwDR\" data-testid=\"text\">A Comprehensive Security Agreement (CSA) outlines the responsibilities and obligations of both parties. It establishes what the third party expects regarding security protocols and <b>clarifies what the organization will provide in return<\/b>. This agreement should include how data is handled, stored, and destroyed and what actions will be taken if there&#8217;s a security breach.<\/p><p class=\"Text_text__rSWMU RichText_paragraph__DNqK4 Text_body50___cwDR\" data-testid=\"text\">The agreement serves as a legally binding pact that holds both parties accountable. This ensures that both sides have taken necessary precautions and can be used in legal proceedings.<\/p><h2 id=\"how-can-nordlayer-help\" class=\"Heading_root__vbfeI Heading_heading20__p7mXS Heading_primary__3VZgz Heading_normal__hJuNy RichText_h2__2iijA\" data-testid=\"heading\">How can NordLayer help<\/h2><p class=\"Text_text__rSWMU RichText_paragraph__DNqK4 Text_body50___cwDR\" data-testid=\"text\">In today&#8217;s dynamic business landscape, providing remote access to your office network is crucial. However, it must be done cautiously to protect sensitive data and ensure business continuity. Cybersecurity shouldn&#8217;t be left for a chance.
