What is Secure Remote Access?
Secure remote access refers to security solutions that enable identities to safely access an organization's applications and resources from outside the corporate network.
What is secure remote access?
Secure remote access refers to security solutions that enable users to access company resources from outside the network.
With more people working remotely and from more devices than ever before, company networks need secure remote access for extra layers of defense against attackers.
Secure remote access tools ensure your user identities are just as protected while working remotely as they are when they're in the office.
How do I secure my device for remote access?
To secure your devices for remote access, deploy a secure remote access solution that provides visibility into all applications, devices, and identities on your network. Identifying risky users & devices while enforcing adaptive access policies enables your organization to allow application access to only verified identities & healthy devices.
Duo checks every user device at every login to ensure compliance with your unique, situational security parameters. The Duo Mobile app’s Security Checkup feature and the Duo Desktop feature, available for laptops and desktops, pinpoint weak points in a device’s security, allowing users to address the problem quickly, without involving your help desk.
What is one way to enable secure remote access?
One way to allow secure remote access is by implementing a virtual private network (VPN). A VPN creates a secure and encrypted connection between a user's device and the organization's internal network. This ensures that data transmitted between the remote user and the organization's network remains confidential and protected from potential eavesdropping or unauthorized access.
However, a VPN alone can't protect you from today's evolving cyberthreats. But Duo can. Duo's strong MFA, risk-based authentication, and device trust capabilities offer reliable authentication to counter credential theft, phishing, advanced malware, and unauthorized access attempts. Duo’s collection of remote access features bolster traditional VPNs and work with remote access gateways to ensure secure user access from anywhere.
Duo empowers your organization to adopt a zero trust security model by verifying user identities and device health before granting VPN access. Integrating MFA with your VPN not only reduces your risk of breaches but helps meet regulatory compliance seamlessly.
Supporting major remote access gateways and VPN providers, Duo works seamlessly with CA Siteminder, Oracle Access Manager, Juniper, Cisco, Palo Alto Networks, F5, Citrix, and more.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is remote access more secure than VPN?
Strong remote access solutions can be more secure than VPNs and even offer advanced protection for VPNs. Secure remote access solutions enforce zero trust policies, strict access controls, MFA, and device checks for enhanced protection that VPNs simply can't match.
