Submission of the protected solution for remote work

On March 20, 2020 the Rostelecom-Solar company announced development of the complete protected solution for the organization of remote work. The solution is easily deployed and scaled thanks to what the companies can organize for several days for employees home office with access to corporate resources, without sacrificing information security.

Though some organizations gave to employees earlier an opportunity to work far off, there was no requirement in short terms to create home office for a half or even all personnel. As noted in Rostelecom-Solar when the situation requires large-scale and very fast transfer of employees to the remote mode, the companies rise before the choice: neglect requirements of information security and face risks of cyberthreats or implement the full project on creation of secure system of remote access, but lose in efficiency because of deceleration or a stop of business processes. The Rostelecom-Solar company developed the solution which eliminates this dilemma, allowing business and the state organizations to transfer employees to the mode of remote work as fast as possible and safely.

Rostelecom-Solar proposes the finished complete multicomponent solution on the organization of secure remote access in three options of execution – through connection of employees to virtual work places using VDI technology, the publication of corporate services or use of a terminal server for connection to information systems of the organization. Any of options can be implemented within several working days. High speed of deployment is reached thanks to own infrastructure of communication channels Rostelecom and to opportunities of the platform of the managed services of cyber security Solar MSS.

"Speed of deployment and simplicity of scaling of the solution guarantees it high demand in present conditions of a pandemic, and the high level of security and convenience in operation provides high market potential on the future when the need for mass transfer of employees to a remote operation mode is not so high any more", 'Anton Antropov, the director of business development in the direction of integration of Rostelecom-Solar company noted'

According to the developer, cumulative use of the services of cyber security provided by Rostelecom-Solar company allows to provide reliable protection of remote access at all stages:

• Protection of all transferred traffic using the certified means of cryptographic protection (GOST VPN). At the request of the customer other means of enciphering can be applied.
• Detection and prevention of the computer attacks directed to corporate resources (Solar MSS services).
• Firewalling for access restriction to resources (Solar MSS services).
• Protection against date leaks from corporate information resources (Solar Dozor)
• Round-the-clock monitoring and counteraction to the computer attacks (Solar JSOC).

In realities of remote access protection against a compromise of accounts of employees as it can become point of entry of cybercriminals in virtual infrastructure and access to sensitive corporate information has critical value. Experts Rostelecom-Solar in addition developed a specialized training course which is directed to increases in cyberliteracy of employees and formation at them practical skills on identification of a phishing, social engineering and other widespread types of threats for fight against these risks, emphasized in Rostelecom-Solar.

The developed solution, in opinion Rostelecom-Solar, supplements other products of the company implementing the functionality necessary for full-fledged remote work: audio-and video conferencing, services of joint work and many other things.
