Here at Synergy-UK, we can offer a Two-Factor Authentication solution to provide an extra layer of security for those working remotely. Since the pandemic, we’ve found that many UK businesses have moved to a hybrid style of working, with 46.6% of the total UK workforce working from home.
Working remotely, whether at home or travelling, has its benefits, but how do you know that the person at the other end of the connection to the office is your staff member?
With our Two-Factor Authentication solution, all users who work remotely and use a VPN connection to connect to the office will be required to authenticate their identity for the connection to work. Upon connecting, the user will receive either an email or a message to their phone to verify the connection. Once verified, the connection is authorised to allow access to the server and all files.
Having Two-Factor Authentication is now a mandatory requirement for Cyber Security Insurance policies for businesses, with only a small selection of companies offering insurance to those without a Two-Factor Authentication system. We’ve spent many hours researching the best Two-Factor Authentication on the market to offer to our customers and have partnered with DUO to offer this service.
DUO is a subsidiary of the leading Global cybersecurity provider, Cisco. Duo helps to reduce risk by enforcing precise policies and controls. You can define and enforce rules on who can access and under what conditions & access policies by user group to increase security without compromising end-user experience. In addition to prompting users with two-factor authentication to verify their identity, Duo also has some monitoring features, to assess the following:
We are very happy with the IT Support service we receive from Synergy. Their team is highly professional and friendly and their support and maintenance contract works extremely well for us as an organisation. Our staff are not here to resolve IT issues and Synergy give us the freedom to get on with what we’re good at! Knowing that Synergy are on the end of the phone makes our job a lot easier.

We recently moved into new office’s and needed a reliable phone system installing as soon as possible. From initial contact with Synergy, outlining our requirements up to an installed & operating service was less than one week. The installation went smoothly and it appears to be working very well. Many thanks to Synergy, we have been impressed by the quick turnaround and level of service provided.

Our business is dependent on reliable internet connectivity. The connection we had with our previous provider was not reliable enough to suit our business needs. We found a local business called Synergy Networks, who were offering resilient wireless connectivity. We made the switch and have now found the new system to be more reliable and quicker than the old system. Good decision to change.
