Contrary to traditional VPN based solutions G/On does NOT make the remote PC part of the network. G/On connects users virtually to their applications, their office PC or to their virtualized desktop.
Device isolation and management
The remote PC ─ the user device ─ used for G/On remote access can be any Internet connected PC. Contrary to traditional VPN based remote access solutions, G/On does NOT connect the remote PC to your network. G/On connects users to their applications.
Using traditional VPN based remote access means the remote PC becomes part of your company network and consequently it is almost impossible to allow access from a PC that is not owned and managed by the company.
G/On’s encrypted connections only go to the G/On Server that in turn forwards the connection to the application server. This virtual application connectivity combined with Giritech’s unique “lock-to-process” technology effectively isolates the remote PC from your company network. That makes it impossible for malicious software to find its own way onto your network. With G/On, users can enjoy the freedom of using their own PC at home while your company avoids the cost of providing employees with company owned and managed PCs just for remote access. G/On will also make it possible for external contractors – and any other individual or entity external to your company – to use their own PCs to get direct access to the applications they need.
Giritech strongly recommends that users check their PC for an active firewall and an updated anti virus tool. This is always a good idea and especially for work related use.
