Remote Access for Third-Party Vendors

Many businesses rely on third-party vendors for critical services, such as IT support, data processing, and supply chain management. However, allowing third-party vendors to access internal systems and data can create security risks. OrbVPN’s Secure Remote Access for Third-Party Vendors provides businesses with the tools to grant vendors secure access while minimizing the risk of unauthorized access or data breaches.

Challenges of Managing Vendor Access​

Allowing vendors to access internal systems presents several challenges:

  • 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​

1. Granular Access Control for Vendors​

OrbVPN provides role-based access control (RBAC), allowing administrators to define specific access policies for each third-party vendor. This ensures that vendors only have access to the resources they need to perform their tasks, without exposing sensitive business data.

  • 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.

2. Secure Remote Connections​

OrbVPN ensures that all remote connections made by third-party vendors are encrypted and secure, protecting your business from man-in-the-middle attacks or data interception.

  • 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.

3. Real-Time Monitoring and Auditing​

OrbVPN provides real-time monitoring of vendor activity, allowing administrators to track what vendors are doing once they have access to the network. This ensures that any unusual activity is detected and dealt with immediately.

  • 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.

4. Network Segmentation for Vendors​

By using network segmentation, OrbVPN ensures that vendors are only able to access the parts of your network necessary for their role. This prevents vendors from gaining access to sensitive areas of the network.

  • 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.

Real-World Use Case: Managing IT Vendors​

A large enterprise that relies on third-party IT vendors to manage its infrastructure implemented OrbVPN’s Secure Vendor Access solution to protect its internal systems. By restricting vendor access to specific areas of the network and monitoring vendor activity in real-time, the company was able to prevent unauthorized access and ensure that all vendor interactions were secure and compliant with company policies.

Conclusion​

OrbVPN’s Secure Remote Access for Third-Party Vendors gives businesses the control they need to manage vendor access securely. With granular access controls, encrypted connections, and real-time monitoring, OrbVPN ensures that vendors can access the resources they need without compromising the security of your network.
