Holiday Remote Work Needs a Real Security Plan
Frank Amato sees remote work spike every November as staff travel for the holidays while still logging in — exactly when a solid VPN setup matters most.
Q1: Why is a VPN necessary for remote staff?
It encrypts the connection between a remote device and company systems, protecting data even when staff connect from unsecured hotel or airport Wi-Fi.
Q2: Is a consumer VPN good enough for business use?
No — business VPNs integrate with company authentication and access controls that consumer VPNs simply don’t offer.
Q3: What about devices staff use for both personal and work tasks during travel?
These need extra scrutiny — requiring MFA and limiting what company data is accessible from personal devices reduces the risk significantly.
Q4: How does DirecTech set this up for Tennessee teams?
We configure business VPN access with MFA before the holiday travel season starts, so remote work stays secure no matter where staff are logging in from.
Final Word
A little VPN setup before the holidays means staff can travel and work without becoming your business’s biggest security risk.
