Unlocking the Power of Zero Trust Networks

February 3, 2024

As technology advances, organizations increasingly turn to cloud-based solutions to increase performance and efficiency. One of the most popular solutions is Remote.It which creates virtual zero trust networks. But what are zero trust networks, and how can they help DevOps and IT teams? 

What is a Zero Trust Network?

A zero trust network is a network access control system that provides secure access to any resource on a network. Unlike traditional VPN networks that create tunnels to a specific subnet range, zero trust networks manage user access control, and individual services maintain the least privileged access model.

How Does Remote.It Create Zero Trust Networks?

Remote.It is a cloud-based zero trust network provider that enables DevOps, and IT teams to create virtual collections of users, devices, and services. These resources can belong to multiple private networks at the same time. Utilize tags and user roles to configure user access to resources as needed. For example, when a new employee is onboarded, Remote.It can automatically grant them access to the needed resources without manual configuration.

Remote.It also makes it easy to manage the resources on a network. With its built-in monitoring tools, users can quickly see which users have access to which resources are being used. Allowing IT and security teams to keep track of resource usage and identify potential security risks. Remote.It centralizes access control for cloud, on-premise, and IoT users and resources into one tool.

The Benefits of Remote.It Zero Trust Networks

Remote.It's zero trust networks offer several advantages over traditional VPN solutions. For starters, they provide faster access to resources and better scalability. As the number of users and resources on the network increases, Remote.It scales to accommodate the increased demand without any additional hardware requirements.

Remote.It eliminates the need to plan, maintain, and debug network configurations eliminating the need to monitor IP addresses, subnets, IP allow lists, VLAN tags, and more. Remote.It even automatically reconfigures for network changes.

Remote.It's zero trust network improves security by removing manual network configurations, which can lead to breaches and eliminates external attack surfaces. Devices do not need public IP addresses or port forwarding. Private devices are entirely invisible to network scans and malicious bots.

Conclusion

Remote.It's zero trust networks provide DevOps and IT teams with a secure and efficient way to manage access to private resources by removing mundane network configuration maintenance and improving an organization's security posture.
