Challenges:

The company was facing difficulties in providing consistent security due to the adoption of a remote work environment. The company was looking for a solution to block unnecessary access to the Internet and Intranet, keeping synced systems in the domain for remote users.

The company intended to block malicious traffic and control the internet and intranet rights based on user profiles, they were looking to disallow intranet access to the non-compliant systems and users systems were out-of-domain.

Due to the out-of-sync domain of roaming systems, there were challenges for remote VPN client auto-login issue and thus had to logged in manually in the VPN agent. Most of the remote systems were out of sync domain thus there were no updates of the remote users client login. We faced challenges for remote VPN client, no auto login found so we logged in manually with the help of VPN agent.

Remote Users were not able to access VPN Apps without URL. Those who were able to access business apps through VPN login was not able to access the company file server as they were not having intranet connectivity with their previous architecture.

Solution :

Team Network Techlab, deployed a single solution for Connectivity and Security, Secured user data with feature DNS, URL Filtering and Sandboxing. The cloud-based solution saved users time and deployed with minimum involvement of the IT Team.

Provided below Solution:

• Once roaming users logged into the remote VPN agent, Systems were in-sync with the domain thus latest password and domain policies were fetched on the users system automatically.
• As we have provided the Cloud-based solution, there was consistent security, a unified policy to roaming users and blocked intranet access to non-compliant systems.

• Only the intranet traffic is been forwarded to physical DC via Prisma Access for accessing the internal application
