Secure Remote Access for WIND
WIND Hellas is achieving greater flexibility in managing its central IT systems through the implementation of an integrated Secure Remote Access Management system that has been developed and supported by Uni Systems.
The system securely covers all the remote access requirements of WIND’s IT infrastructure by providing access, 24-7, to local and international accredited suppliers as well as to authorized administrators.
This integrated solution implemented by Uni Systems, which was awarded the project following an international bidding process, is based on cutting-edge technologies developed by Citrix, Xceedium, Appsense & Secure Computing and ensures flexibility and direct access to WIND’s central IT systems through exceptionally high security parameters.
The security parameters governing the system are exclusively established by WIND’s accredited administrators to meet the strict security standards of the Telecommunications Provider, whereas specialized mechanisms that cannot be compromised provide monitored access only to the systems that are absolutely necessary according to each user's tasks.
In addition, security is guaranteed through mechanisms that record the entire number of actions realized through the system, with these mechanisms being supplemented by automatic warnings and a blocking process where non-authorized user actions are identified.
With its many years of experience in providing, operating and supporting infrastructures for major telecom organizations, Uni Systems plans and implements projects—with a focus on interoperability and security solutions—always in compliance with the policies of the providers and the regulatory framework that governs such organizations.
