I am attempting to find out what other’s are doing for employees who have home PC’s and access the corporate work environment. Currently, we have VPN access and supply virus checking software for free. But this doesn’t stop a compromised computer from bypassing our firewall. We are considering buying firewall appliances for employees (who have a business need to access the network). Many already use a software firewall to help protect themselves. What I would like to know is what others are doing and what a best business practice would be for this common situation that most of us face? The goal is to protect the home PC before it accesses the corporate environment and its security measures.
