How is SecureLink better than using our VPN?
Giving a vendor a VPN account may take weeks or months to accomplish. Then, you must maintain that account, making sure it’s not being used without permission, or that login details aren’t being shared inappropriately. Also, once a vendor has gained access to your system, many VPNs give them “the keys to the kingdom.” There is no way to limit access at the port level to services, ports, or hostnames. Finally, many VPNs do not create a thorough audit of what happened during a support request. In summary, VPNs are great for allowing remote access internally, but SecureLink is a better solution for allowing vendor access.
