Looking for an easier way, other than VPN, to provide secure access to your corporate data? Amazon Web Services has announced the launch of Amazon WorkLink that will allow the employees to have quick and secure access to your internal apps and websites using their mobile devices.<\/i><\/span><\/p>\n

AWS Announces Amazon WorkLink<\/h2>\n

Amazon WorkLink<\/a><\/span> is an application, described as the fully managed service that enables you to provide your employees an easy as well as secure access to your internal web applications and websites with their mobile devices. It makes access to the internal web content easier without any delay to connect to the corporate network, just like any public website. <\/span><\/p>\n

This is not a new release, by the way. Employees have been using Virtual Private Networks (VPNs) and device management software for years in order to access the internal content. But Amazon WorkLink is a more convenient way to access the internal data of the company with any type of device. These traditional solutions were inappropriate and disruptive in nature. <\/span><\/p>\n

Amazon WorkLink removes the drawbacks of the traditional solutions that were previously used. It works in a much more secure way as it doesn\u2019t store or cache the internal content on the employee\u2019s mobile phones\u2019 browser. This way, Amazon WorkLink doesn\u2019t create a direct connection between the employee and the corporate\u2019s internal data at any time. <\/span><\/p>\n

The time has gone when every other employee was provided with the corporate mobile phones. It\u2019s the era of BYOD (Bring your own device) where the employees use their own devices to access the corporate\u2019s internal content. Amazon WorkLink is a system that makes the BYOD environment more secure. <\/span><\/p>\n

How does the Amazon WorkLink Work?<\/span><\/h3>\n

The Amazon WorkLink is a system that works as an intermediate between the user and the corporate environment. Here are the simple steps to understand the role of the AWS WorkLink and how it works. <\/span><\/p>\n
