Secure Remote Access to ERP Systems and Legacy Applications without a VPN # Secure Remote Access to ERP Systems and Legacy Applications without a VPN Enable secure remote access to your Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) systems and extend the life cycle of legacy applications without a VPN.

The constant threat of cyberattacks is a top of mind issue for executives and has become a significant cyber risk as threats against ERP systems continue to escalate.  Ensuring your ERP system has a strong cyber posture is essential for the security of the sensitive data powering your organisation. ## Secure Remote Access to ERP with Agilicus AnyX [⌊Agilicus Workload Types: Securely launch JNLP files and access internal applications from anywhere without a VPN using Agilicus' browser-based access.

This is achieved by segmenting users and resources and enforcing least privilege access. In order to access corporate resources through Agilicus, users must verify their identity and have the necessary permissions.  This is implemented in the front end through a friction-free single sign-on experience. Meanwhile administrators are equipped with centralised authorisation management and can easily add or remove user access and privileges through a single administrator portal. With Agilicus, organisations of all types and sizes can quickly and economically expand the reach of ERP systems, including legacy ERP applications, without compromising security. ## Enhancing Security for ERP Systems While Enabling Secure Access The pace of digital transformation and the shift towards “Work-From-Anywhere” means technology leaders are challenged with finding effective ways to enable remote access while also enhancing security for their ERP and legacy applications. These challenges are creating barriers for employees and could be holding back business initiatives and processes. Traditional tools such as the VPN or remote desktop protocol (RDP) have not only proven to be insufficient solutions, they are also often the source of cyber risk. While VPNs have given organisations a way to enable remote access to certain corporate resources, they weren’t developed for security and haven’t kept up with the demands of the modern threat environment. Unfortunately, when a user gets access via the VPN, they are also getting access to an entire network, which is one of the ways ransomware propagates. In addition to security issues, they introduce unnecessary complexity for end users and don’t enable simple remote access to ERP systems and legacy applications.
