Even though some companies allowed their workforce to work remotely before the COVID-19 pandemic, remote work has become the new norm. The COVID-19 pandemic has forced every enterprise around the world to rethink their IT strategy and their daily operations to accommodate working from home. It has also presented new challenges in managing an unseen workforce. In such a rapidly evolving situation, every IT admin is striving to balance what’s important for their company along with employee data protection, while delivering a user-friendly experience.

In this blog post, we will cover CDP’s 1OfficeView, which was recently validated as Citrix Ready for Citrix Virtual Apps and Desktops. The solution leverages facial recognition technology to ensure that only the right people are getting access to their organization’s data. Integrating this application with Citrix infrastructure simplifies management and increases security, even if a user accesses data from personal devices.

Adopt Remote Working with Confidence

Are you aware of the increasing risks caused by insider threats? Have you seen unauthorized employees snooping on your organization’s confidential data? Is your IT admin able to identify the grey areas in a work-from-home scenario?

Remote working has its pros and cons, but one of the biggest challenges is around data security. CDP’s biometric authentication technology helps organizations adopt remote working with confidence by leveraging the following key features:

How does it work?

1OfficeView’s artificial intelligence-enabled virtual supervision technology lets you check for face recognition by accessing the user’s webcam at random time intervals to authenticate whether the right person is accessing the system. If it is the wrong user or multiple people are sitting in front of the screen, the user is disconnected from the Citrix session. Another important aspect of the integration is that the user is monitored only when accessing corporate data. While using the device during non-working hours or for personal use, this biometric authentication application doesn’t trace user activities.
