Use Case 3: Securing Third-Party & Contractor Access Without VPNs or Endpoint Risks
Introduction
Organizations frequently grant remote access to third-party vendors, contractors, and temporary workers, but these external users pose a significant security risk. Providing them access through VPNs or unmanaged devices can expose corporate networks to malware, data leaks, and insider threats. Traditional endpoint security models fail to prevent contractors from copying or downloading sensitive files to personal devices.
Problem Statement
- Third-Party Users Often Access Corporate Systems from Unsecured Devices: Contractors work from personal laptops or unmanaged endpoints, increasing attack surfaces.
- VPNs Grant Overly Broad Network Access: Once inside, contractors may have access to more systems than required.
- Lack of Visibility & Control Over Contractor Sessions: IT teams struggle to monitor external user activity, making security audits difficult.
Solution: TerraZone Fully Managed VDI
TerraZone’s fully managed VDI eliminates security risks associated with third-party access by ensuring that contractors work within a controlled, isolated virtual environment—without VPNs, endpoint agents, or infrastructure dependencies.
- No Endpoint Dependencies – Contractors access secure virtual desktops from any device, without the need for software installation or VPNs.
- Granular Access Controls – Limit third-party users to only the applications and data they need, enforcing least-privilege policies.
