Digi International Offers Networking Solutions to Enable Enterprise-level Security in Work-from-Home Environments

“As remote work increases, cybersecurity threats are also rising due to vulnerable connections and networks. Our remote worker connectivity package is designed to be easily deployed and configured to protect against those threats, regardless of where employees are working,” says Brian Kirkendall, Vice President, Product at Digi International. “Arming employees with optimal tools to work efficiently and securely from home not only enables disruption-free productivity, but it also creates peace of mind across the organization and ensures digital safety.”

For primary wired WAN, a home office worker can connect the computer to the LAN port on the Digi device and the WAN port to the home Internet router. Corporate IT staff can configure the Digi device remotely via Digi Remote Manager to create a VPN tunnel between the home office and the corporate data center, encrypting all IP traffic in the tunnel. If there is service outage at the home, the Digi device with its cellular module will take over and keep communications running and all data secure.
