Cisco and CenturyLink have launched updated remote access services to address the growing demand for secure connections from residences to enterprise networks as more employees work from home due to social distancing requirements. At Cisco Live this week, Cisco announced updates to its suite of Secure Remote Workforce services. Susie Wee, SVP/GM of Cisco DevNet & CX Ecosystem Success, says as Cisco is adapting internally to a new normal of operations, it has applied those learnings to improve secure, remote connection services for its customers as well. Additional services in Cisco’s Secure Remote Workforce include Flexible Remote Access, which is a suite of products and services to provide employees with remote access to their company’s network, collaboration tools and business applications. In addition, Secure Remote Worker provides enterprises with the tools to analyze, design, configure and scale current VPN capacity, and do so securely with Cisco Security technology. CenturyLink’s Saenger says businesses overall are looking for a new way to operate, and many employees will continue to use remote access services on a daily basis even as social distancing requirements are lifted.
