Benefits of Using a Fognigma VDI While Working Remote

Even before the COVID-19 work from home order, the business world has increasingly become a remote occupation. Whether organizations let their employees work remotely a few days out of the week, work completely remote, or have employees that travel frequently, a proper Virtual Desktop Infrastructure (VDI) solution can allow organizations to seamlessly maintain the benefits and feel a single office location offers.

Learn more about how Fognigma VDIs can secure and unify your organization, no matter where your users are.

Benefits of Fognigma VDIs

Anonymous Access: Fognigma VDIs allow users to browse the internet in a sandboxed computing environment that protects their actual computer from attack.

Disposability: When VDIs are no longer in use, they can be destroyed in just a few clicks, and leave absolutely no footprint that links users’ actual computer to the work that was being done.

Centralized File Sharing: Users can save files and profile information on one VDI and then access them later on another as if it were the exact same one. Any data or files downloaded to a VDI can be virus-scanned in the safe sandboxed environment of the VDI itself, before being transferred to the user’s local computer or a file server.

USB Capabilities: Fognigma VDIs have local USB compatibility with most peripherals, including Custom Access Card (CAC) readers, printers, keyboards, and more.

Customization: Fognigma VDIs can be integrated with custom programs, allowing businesses to tailor the sandboxed environments to their needs.

Proxied Audio: Audio transmitted through the VDI is filtered to ensure no IP leaks occur.

How To Make Sure Your Video Conferences Are Secure

When your entire organization is forced to work remotely, video conferencing is a vital tool for effective communication and collaboration. Many web services are offering free tools to help organizations adapt to this new remote lifestyle, but the increased reliance on video conferences has revealed a major security flaw.

With more and more organizations switching to a remote work environment, hackers have plenty of new targets and opportunities to access sensitive data – and they’re succeeding.

This rise in video conferencing attacks has revealed an unavoidable fact: some remote work tools do not have security and privacy.

Another obvious fact: video conferencing is an essential part of an effective remote work environment.

So what’s the solution? How do you protect video calls, voice chat, and screen sharing from hackers trying to steal sensitive data?

Not all video conferencing services are created equal. To ensure your users, data, and communications are secure, follow the guidelines below.

USE AN ENCRYPTED SERVICE

One simple way you can boost security is to use a service that encrypts audio and video data. In most cases, video conferencing software encryption is extremely efficient and has little to no effect on real-time usability of video conferences.

AVOID SERVICES THAT SELL DATA:

Even on a secure server, admins for the service provider may have access to your video conferencing sessions. Some providers also sell user data. Before hosting video conferences make sure you’re in the right hands.

HOST YOUR OWN SERVERS:

The best solution to avoid intrusion is to use servers completely owned by your organization. Most collaboration software is cloud-based, simply because it makes data collection easier. With self-hosted video conferencing software, your data isn’t going to a central cloud computing service that can sell it to the highest bidder. Self-hosting allows your organization to have complete control over everything.

USE THE ALL-IN-ONE SOLUTION:

Fognigma is a fully encrypted, secure, invisible, traceless network complete with communication and collaboration tools. Fognigma’s video conferencing solution is completely protected by FIPS 140-2 validation, uses cascading AES-256 encryption, runs on servers your organization owns and operates, and is completely private and invisible to everyone but the parties involved.
