Remote Access for Third-Party Vendors
Remote Access for Third-Party Vendors
Allowing vendors to access internal systems presents several challenges:
Challenges of Managing Vendor Access
Limited Control
Vendors may not follow the same security protocols as your business, introducing vulnerabilities into your network.
Over-Privileged Access
Vendors may be granted more access than necessary, increasing the risk of insider threats or accidental data breaches.
Lack of Monitoring
Without proper monitoring, it can be difficult to track what third-party vendors are doing once they have access to your network.
OrbVPN’s Secure Vendor Access Solution
Least Privilege Access
Vendors are only granted access to the minimum resources necessary for their role, reducing the risk of unauthorized access.
Temporary Access
Administrators can grant vendors temporary access that expires after a set time, ensuring that access is not left open indefinitely.
Customized Access Policies
Define custom access policies for each vendor based on the services they provide and the systems they need to access.
AES-256 Encryption
All remote connections are encrypted, ensuring that sensitive business data cannot be intercepted.
Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA)
Vendors are required to verify their identity using MFA, ensuring that only authorized users can access your systems.
Vendor Activity Logs
Detailed logs of all vendor access attempts and actions provide full transparency, ensuring that businesses can audit vendor activity at any time.
Automated Alerts
Receive real-time alerts when vendors attempt to access unauthorized systems or perform actions that violate your access policies.
Isolated Zones
Vendors are assigned to specific network zones, ensuring that they cannot access systems or data outside of their scope of work.
Lateral Movement Prevention
Even if a vendor’s account is compromised, network segmentation prevents attackers from moving laterally through the network.
