Secure Remote Management for Distributed Enterprises
Mako Networks’ Periscope feature offers distributed enterprises secure, real-time access to essential third-party systems and devices located at remote sites. Part of the Mako Central Management System (CMS), Periscope eliminates the need for costly onsite tech visits or unsecured, makeshift solutions by providing reliable access to POS systems, CCTV, IoT devices, and more, all managed from a single, secure platform.
Key Features & Benefits
Remote Accessibility
Access any web-enabled device behind a Mako firewall, including POS systems, CCTV, DVRs, IoT devices, network storage, and even specialized equipment. Eliminate the need for onsite visits and gain comprehensive control from anywhere.
Enhanced Security
Built on Mako’s PCI-certified system, Periscope ensures robust security with 256-bit encryption and multifactor authentication (MFA). The system only allows access to authorized users, ensuring data privacy and integrity.
Traffic Monitoring and Compliance
Monitor network traffic to verify security protocol compliance, track IP addresses, ports, bandwidth usage, and authentication status. Periscope respects user privacy by not logging sensitive data.
Scalability
Simplify network management at scale with enterprise templates, enabling configuration rollouts across multiple sites in seconds.
Time and Cost Savings
By reducing the need for local equipment and physical site visits, Periscope drives down operational costs while boosting network efficiency and performance.
How It Works:
Periscope makes secure access straightforward. Users interact through the CMS dashboard by selecting a site and clicking on any web service listed under the Periscope tab. The Mako CMS then establishes an encrypted VPN tunnel, generating a one-time URL that expires after each session. This secure approach ensures access only from authorized IP addresses, providing complete peace of mind.
