Distributed Teams

In today’s world, more businesses are embracing distributed teams, with employees working from multiple locations, often across different time zones and countries. While distributed teams offer flexibility and the ability to hire globally, they also present security challenges. OrbVPN provides secure, scalable solutions that enable distributed teams to collaborate safely, ensuring that communications and data are protected no matter where employees are located.

The Challenges of Securing Distributed Teams​

Distributed teams often face unique security and operational challenges, such as:

  • Remote Access Risks: Distributed teams rely heavily on remote access, which increases the risk of cyber-attacks and unauthorized access.
  • Data Privacy and Security: Sharing sensitive data and collaborating across geographic boundaries can expose a business to data breaches if not properly secured.
  • Consistent Performance: Distributed teams require fast, reliable access to company resources without experiencing delays or performance issues.
