Definition: Remote Access

October 28, 2015 by The T By D Team Leave a Comment

Definition:  Remote Access

The ability to access your computer from a remote location.  Programs allow users to control remote computers from their local machine.  Most remote access programs allow users to transfer files between the local and remote machines.  

Although this can be useful for people who sometimes work from home and for server administrators who frequently need to update and make changes on their server machines, it is not advisable to enable the feature unless you absolutely require remote access.  Having remote access requires a higher level of CyberSecurity.
