Internet connectivity has transformed the business landscape, with many industries now relying on mobile devices to streamline operations. Frontline workers and distributed teams frequently use these devices as part of their daily responsibilities, often while on the move. As a result, secure and reliable mobile connectivity is essential for sustaining productivity and safeguarding sensitive information.
SOTI VPN offers a robust solution for businesses looking to enhance their mobility by ensuring secure access to company resources and information to maintain productivity. Seamlessly integrated into SOTI MobiControl, this tool provides businesses with the security they need for sensitive information and employees access to it.
This blog will explore the key features of SOTI VPN, the common pain points it addresses and how it provides a comprehensive solution for modern enterprises.
But First, What is a VPN?
A VPN – Virtual Private Network – establishes a digital connection between a device and a corporate network. Its intention is to ensure your online experience is secure and protected. It accomplishes this by creating a point-to-point tunnel that encrypts your corporate data and handles internet firewalls and website blocks.
Explore the Advantages of SOTI VPN
1. Clear Cost Savings
Corporate VPNs hold nearly 80% of the VPN services market, which shows the need for ensuring secure and private access to company networks. However, many businesses source their VPN from a third-party service provider and their device management from another, which means double the cost, as these two tools rarely work cohesively with one another. SOTI offers a seamless VPN integration within our Mobile Device Management (MDM), resulting in one convenient interface for both tools. In other words, because SOTI VPN is conveniently accessed in SOTI MobiControl, you are saving money while enhancing efficiency and boosting productivity.
2. Designed for Simplicity
The typical VPN experience requires device users to connect to a VPN manually, which can be confusing, error prone and inefficient. SOTI VPN, on the other hand, is 100% seamless. Device users don’t have to perform any actions to ensure their device is connected to the VPN. This ensures a frictionless experience and allows them to remain focused on the task at hand.
3. Fast, Efficient Performance
The performance of a VPN has a direct impact on a user’s experience with it. While most VPNs are slow or don’t offer high-rated performance, SOTI VPN is fast, efficient and frictionless. SOTI VPN uses WireGuard, a fast and modern VPN that utilizes state-of-the-art cryptography. Designed with the ease of implementation and simplicity in mind, WireGuard is more performant than other VPNs, providing you with the best experience.
How SOTI VPN Works
SOTI VPN allows your frontline workers to safely access the network services they need, wherever they are. With different modes of operation, they can remain productive, efficient and high performing in a secure way.
The following are the three tunnel modes of operation that SOTI VPN has to offer:
Mode 1: Device-Wide
Across all devices – Android, Windows, iOS and iPadOS – SOTI VPN protects all internet traffic from a device, not just specific web browsers or apps. With total protection, you can rest easy knowing your device fleet is safe.
Mode 2: Per-App
Specifically for Android devices, SOTI VPN can protect traffic based on specific apps. This mode allows you to define what apps should be included and which should not.
Mode 3: Customizable Split-Tunnel VPN Services
Do you want to route only select traffic through the VPN tunnel? By utilizing split tunneling on Android, Windows, iOS and iPadOS devices, you can establish VPN tunnels that secure select traffic that flows between devices and specific network resources, such as corporate app servers.
