With 40% of the existing workforce working away from their desks, secure, network access has become inevitable. Secure remote access solutions do exist, yet they are difficult to implement, hard to use and costly as they excessively utilize the organization’s internal technical support team.
An alternative solution entered the market, with ease of use and deployment benefits, however, at the expense of limited performance, scalability, and with the loss of application independency. Black Hole Networks in contrast managed to combine the benefits of both solutions, overcome their weaknesses and add top-notch technological breakthroughs needed for uninterrupted content delivery.
Black Hole Networks created Gate Seal technology. Secure network access – Anytime, Anywhere, Anyplace.
