    Remote Access Redefined Podcast S2 E5: Managing Remote Access Across Isolated Environments

    Remote Access Redefined Podcast Season 2 Ep. 5 Managing Remote Access Across Isolated Environments In this fifth episode of the Remote Access Redefined podcast's second season, host Nick Cavalancia is joined by RealVNC's Lead Developer for OEM, Dom Parkes, and Product Owner Fern Selby-Purgavie, to look at how organizations keep visibility and security intact when data can't leave an isolated network. They cover what happens once regulation forces an organization on premises, and why management tends to fragment as a result, device licensing, access permissions, and audit trails ending up scattered instead of sitting in one place. You can also find out how the On-Prem Management Console was built to fix that, giving organizations a single point for devices, users, licensing, and auditing, with no internet access required. The guests also look at which industries feel this most, manufacturing, healthcare, defence and critical infrastructure, and how zones extend that visibility across segmented networks. They also analyse the topic's relationship with AI: the risks of exposing sensitive workflows online, keeping AI models local and air gapped, and why audit trails matter just as much when it's an AI agent acting on your network rather than a person.

    Emerging Threats in Remote Access Security Webinar Confident security teams keep getting breached. The data in RealVNC's Emerging Threats in Remote Access Security Report shows why.In this webinar, host Nick Cavalancia sits down with Anthony Porter (Senior Security Architect, CSA Cyber), Oskar Grainger (Cybersecurity Engineer, RealVNC), and Anton Zdziebczok (VP of Product, RealVNC) to unpack the findings from a survey of 323 IT professionals on emerging threats in remote access security.The conversation looks at a real disconnect: two-thirds of organizations say they feel very or extremely confident in their security, yet more than half were still breached in the last two years. The panel works through what's driving that gap, how AI is speeding up attacks, why legacy and open source tools raise the stakes, and what it takes to bring agentic AI into remote access safely.You'll learn: Why confident teams still get breached, and how to tell if your confidence is earnedHow phishing, ransomware, and AI driven attacks stack up in today's threat landscapeThe real risks of legacy and open source remote access toolsHow tool sprawl quietly widens your attack surfaceWhere Zero Trust adoption tends to stallWhat agentic AI remote access means, and the guardrails it demands: observability, auditability, and a human in the loopFind out more and read the report in full here:https://realvnc.com/emergingthreats/
