Keep contractors productive and
business resources secure
Enable least-privileged contractor access by removing the risk network access
The risk introduced
by contractors is real
The average employment tenure for contract employees is just 10.1 weeks. While this is a short amount of time to get users on-boarded, ramped-up, and productive, it’s more than long enough time for your network to be exposed.
Because remote access solutions, like VPN and VDI, give external users full network access, these over privileged users become a high risk to the enterprise. This is largely due to the fact that they are often granted the same level of trust as your internal employees, when in most cases all they require is access to a few key applications.
IT must optimize the time and productivity of contractors while protecting business data.
The reality is that
access is overextended to contractors
51% of organizations have experienced a data breach caused by a third-party
74% say that a security breach was caused by over-privileged access to third parties
63% of organizations don’t know the level of access and permissions of internal and external users
59% of respondents say there is no centralized access control over third-parties
Eliminate over privileged access
calls for zero trust
Your contract users only need access to specific applications, so keep them off the corporate network altogether. In order to keep your network and business free of risk, connectivity must be segmented, simple, controlled, and powered by zero trust.
Enforce least-privileged
not with complex network segmentation, but granular app segmentation based on policy
Leverage agentless capabilities
give access flexibility without compromising security.
