The field of Manufacturing has a growing need for robust data security. However, remote access is also a crucial tool, mainly due to the locations of production machines. RealVNC Connect can be used as an exclusively on-premise remote access solution for manufacturing, meeting these needs, while keeping your data secure.
Data Security in Manufacturing
According to recent data from Statista, Manufacturing is the leading industry when it comes to number of cyberattacks. Over a quarter of the total of these attacks in 2023 have been targeting Manufacturing.
One of the reasons for this is the theft of IP (Intellectual Property), to undermine competitive advantage.
However, remote access remains crucial for the daily operations of Manufacturing organizations. Many machines are situated in remote locations. Also, it is very likely production is monitored by the same person for several locations. In those situations, RealVNC Connect with a cloud connection is not only very handy, but also secure.
Using a solution that offers robust security, including encryption of your data and remote session authentication, is essential. And so is choosing a solution that can “put its money where its mouth is” when it comes to security. Namely, one that can show you results of recent white box audits and penetration tests, as well as ISO certification.
On-Premise Remote Access for Manufacturing
All the above is essential for a remote access solution. But what if you have several machines in hard-to-access locations, but still on-site? For example, your R&D machines, used for building prototypes of your next generation of products and storing all those designs that your competition would love to get its hands on, are located in a separate part of your facility. Your staff uses remote access software to access these machines from their computers, but does all that data really need to go via the internet? Wouldn’t it be great if it just stayed on a separate local network, separate from the internet and its dangers?
What if we told you that there is a very simple solution for this?
RealVNC Connect offers an on-premise remote access solution, ensuring that all data stays on your network. That doesn’t mean, though, that any of the solution’s security is in any way lower.
Here are some of its state-of-the-art features:
- End-to-End Encryption: TLS and 256-bit AES encryption to protect remote sessions and data transfers from unauthorized access.
- Two-Factor Authentication (2FA): An added layer of security, requiring a second form of verification to prevent unauthorized access.
- Device Authentication: Strengthens security protocols by ensuring only authorized devices can access the network, protecting against both external and internal threats.
Moreover, you benefit from air-gapping capability. This means that you can connect to your devices without needing internet connectivity. Therefore, your data is secure and isolated from external threats.
Complete Control with On-Premise RealVNC Connect
The solution will ensure that you always maintain complete control of your remote access setup. You can also manage access settings as you see fit, deciding which users can access which machines.
Offline licensing and deployment options are available, for a seamless implementation.
