Sonal, the IT head of a growing legal services firm in Noida, spent three weekends in a row trying to set up VPN access for her team. It was clunky, unstable, and worse, it failed her when she needed it most, during a late-night client call. Her field staff, now working remotely from Patna and Jaipur, couldn’t connect to files without calling support. And that support was just her.
The irony? The company had upgraded its connectivity stack but had no coherent remote work infrastructure. Just patches. It’s a common story. And it’s not sustainable.
Remote work is not just about giving out laptops and Microsoft Teams licenses. The real issue lies in secure access, performance, and manageability. And in India, where connectivity can vary widely from Bhubaneswar to Bhopal, you need a system that adapts.
A secure remote work setup must solve for:
These aren’t luxuries. They are the foundation of remote work that scales without breaking.
Meraki's cloud-managed stack simplifies remote infrastructure. It's not magic, just sound design that reduces the number of tools you manage. And it is built for lean teams.
Most Indian SMBs treat connectivity as location-tied. With Meraki, your network follows the user. A remote employee gets the same policies and experience as HQ. Even on a home connection. This brings consistency, not chaos.
Old-school VPNs treat every connection as equal. That is dangerous. With Meraki, user identity, device type, and posture dictate access. You can revoke or limit access based on risk in real-time.
You can’t troubleshoot what you can’t see. The Meraki dashboard gives real-time insight into devices, apps, security alerts, and bandwidth consumption. From one pane of glass. No more RDP into routers or walking users through firewall logs.
Most security tools add latency. Meraki’s built-in firewall, malware protection, and content filtering work in the background, without killing performance. Protection stays active, and productivity doesn’t take a hit.
Whether your employees work from Nagpur, Surat, or Ernakulam, you manage everything from one place. Policy changes, firmware upgrades, and threat responses don’t need tickets. They need clicks.
Start from the left and move to the right.
1. Do you have employees working from more than one location?
2. Can remote employees access all business apps securely?
3. Can you monitor remote access and endpoints in real-time?
4. Do you update and patch all endpoints centrally?
5. Can you isolate a compromised device remotely?
Security isn’t just an IT requirement. It is a board-level concern. Whether you need to meet ISO 27001, PCI DSS, or healthcare compliance norms, Meraki’s integrated reporting and alerting tools help you stay audit-ready. Logs are automatically generated. Alerts are actionable, not abstract.
