Work productively anywhere with safety

The COVID-19 pandemic has changed the perspective of the world of work, where companies usually focus on managing their employees in the office, but now with the implementation of the new-normal many companies allow employees to work from home or work anywhere for a certain time. With the new challenges, companies still have to prioritize the safety and success of work achievements and provide convenience to employees to work from anywhere.

Security is a very complex topic that is always very interesting to discuss and find solutions for. Of course, for hackers, the flexibility of working for employees is an opportunity for them to carry out attacks in the form of viruses, malware, phishing, spoofing, and others. This becomes a challenge for companies to be able to monitor each employee, and gain access to settings, and reports related to threats that may occur on employee computer devices. So the concept of security where previously companies were only concerned with maintaining network security centralized in the office, this security concept is no longer relevant and has changed along with changes in behavior applied to the policy of working at home or anywhere.

Fortinet is a security solution company that has widely been recognized as one of the leading information security companies and tested by institutions such as cyberratings.org, providing solutions to companies for implementing centralized management for centralized security practices and it can also help to improve employee productivity. FortiClient Enterprise Management Server (FortiClient EMS) is one of the security management solutions that can be used to centralize the security of employee computers. 

FortiClient EMS provides effective and efficient administration by using FortiClient on employees' computers. FortiClient EMS provides visibility across the company network so that the company's Information Security department can gain real-time information about vulnerabilities of employee computer devices and set security profiles for employee computers (such as malware protection, Antivirus, Web Filtering, Removable media Control) and manages potential vulnerabilities in the software installed on employee computers, providing suggestions for fixing vulnerabilities found. Moreover, employees can use VPNs securely to access the office network so that they are not worried about using public WIFI in public places.

Besides the above functions, the latest version of FortiClient EMS (V.7.2) now has a feature that will help management increase employee productivity, the video filtering feature that previously did not exist in FortiClient EMS version 7.0. The video filter is designed to maximize employee productivity, which sometimes needs a search for references through streaming video channels such as YouTube, so employees can focus on relevant content and minimize the ineffectiveness of employees accessing entertainment content on work devices during working hours. 

By utilizing Forti Client EMS technology, companies can ensure security and work performance for employees who work anywhere, whether they work from the office or from home using a centralized security method.
