BeyondTrust Helps Businesses Support Expanded Remote Workforce

As the coronavirus outbreak continues to spread across the world, organisations are closing offices and mandating remote work arrangements. This situation has put immense pressure on IT organisations and support desks who need to quickly set up and support teams of remote workers around the globe. Organisations are also struggling to provide secure ways for now remote IT administrators, contractors, and vendors to access critical systems to maintain business continuity and operations.

To help IT organisations address these challenges without compromising security, BeyondTrust is offering free use of its Secure Remote Access solutions for 90 days:

Techs can support Windows, Mac, Linux, iOS, Android, and network devices with this single solution.
• Privileged Remote Access: Gives external vendors and internal IT staff and administrators, who are working remotely, secure access to systems without requiring a VPN.
