Secure Remote Work & Secure Access
Remote work should not require broad network access, unreliable VPN connections, or security controls built for an office-only environment.
Univision Computers provides Secure Access as-a-Service, helping organizations modernize remote access with Zero Trust principles, identity-first controls, device-aware policies, and cloud-delivered security. Users connect only to the applications and resources they are authorized to use, helping reduce unnecessary exposure while giving employees, contractors, and IT teams secure access from wherever they work.
Whether you support a hybrid workforce, outside vendors, distributed teams, or a mix of cloud and on-premises systems, Univision Computers helps you simplify secure access without adding more infrastructure for your team to maintain.
Secure access is part of our broader cloud computing practice and works alongside Zero Trust and MFA rollouts.
What You Get
Zero Trust Network Access
Give users access to the applications they need without extending access to the entire network.
- Connect users to specific applications instead of broad network segments
- Limit opportunities for lateral movement inside the environment
- Support access to modern web applications and legacy internal systems
- Apply access policies based on identity and business need
Strong Identity and MFA
Make identity the foundation of remote access security.
- Support single sign-on and multi-factor authentication
- Apply conditional access based on role, location, and risk
- Enforce least-privilege access consistently
- Strengthen controls around sensitive applications and accounts
Device Posture and Endpoint Checks
Evaluate the device before access is granted.
- Check operating system status and security requirements
- Verify controls such as disk encryption and antivirus or EDR presence
- Detect rooted or jailbroken devices where supported
- Restrict or block access from devices that do not meet policy
Secure Web and Application Access
Protect users as they connect to SaaS platforms, private applications, and internal resources.
- Apply policy-based access to cloud and private applications
- Use additional controls for higher-risk sessions
- Support browser isolation where appropriate
- Reduce the risk of unauthorized data exposure with configurable policies
Centralized Visibility and Audit Logs
Give IT and security teams clearer visibility into remote access activity.
- Monitor access events and security activity
- Review who accessed which resources and when
- Support compliance and audit reporting
- Identify anomalous behavior and higher-risk sessions
- Centralize access visibility for easier investigation and administration
Why Secure Access as-a-Service Instead of a Traditional VPN?
Traditional VPNs typically extend network-level access to remote users. That model can create unnecessary exposure, increase administrative overhead, and make access policies harder to manage as organizations add users, locations, contractors, and cloud applications.
Secure Access as-a-Service changes the access model.
Instead of placing a remote user broadly inside the network, access can be limited according to identity, device posture, application, and policy.
This approach can help organizations:
- Reduce network exposure by limiting access to approved applications
- Simplify deployment without relying on additional perimeter appliances
- Centralize policy management across users and resources
- Improve remote-user experience by reducing dependence on traditional network tunneling
- Scale access more easily as teams, contractors, and locations change
- Apply Zero Trust principles consistently across remote-access scenarios
Benefits for IT and Security Teams
Reduce the Attack Surface
App-level access limits unnecessary network exposure and helps contain what each user or device can reach.
Simplify Access Administration
Centralized policies can make onboarding, offboarding, role changes, and access reviews easier to manage.
Improve the Remote-Work Experience
Users can securely reach approved applications without depending on broad, always-on network access.
Strengthen Access Governance
Identity, device posture, conditional access, and logging provide a stronger foundation for controlling and reviewing remote access.
Support a Hybrid Workforce
Apply consistent access policies across employees working in offices, at home, on mobile devices, or from other approved locations.
Manage Third-Party Access More Carefully
Give contractors, vendors, developers, and service providers access only to the applications and resources required for their work.
Common Secure Access Use Cases
Hybrid Workforce Access
Provide employees with secure access to internal applications, file resources, administrative portals, and other approved systems without exposing the entire network.
Contractor and Vendor Access
Limit third-party users to the resources required for their assignments. Access policies can be designed around specific roles, applications, and business requirements.
Cloud and On-Premises Application Access
Apply a more consistent access model across SaaS applications, cloud-hosted workloads, and on-premises systems without treating every remote connection as full network access.
Mergers, Acquisitions, and Rapid Expansion
Standardize access controls as teams, locations, applications, and environments are added to the organization.
Privileged Access Hardening
Apply stronger authentication and tighter access policies to administrators, IT personnel, and users working with sensitive systems.
Secure Access FAQs
What is Secure Access as-a-Service?
Secure Access as-a-Service is a cloud-delivered approach that provides identity-based, policy-controlled access to applications and resources—often replacing or reducing reliance on traditional VPNs.
Is this the same as a VPN?
Not exactly. VPNs typically grant broad network access. Secure Access as-a-Service focuses on Zero Trust and application-specific access, reducing exposure and improving security.
Can we secure access for unmanaged devices?
Yes. You can enforce device posture checks, limit access, require stronger verification, or route access through safer modes (depending on policy and requirements).
Does it work with legacy internal apps?
In most cases, yes. Many organizations use secure access services to publish and protect legacy web apps, internal tools, and admin interfaces without exposing them publicly.
How fast can we deploy?
Deployment speed depends on app complexity and identity readiness, but cloud-delivered secure access typically rolls out faster than traditional perimeter projects.
