Then we introduce remote access tools like R D P and S S H, showing how they allow technicians to manage systems without being physically present.We also explore the risks involved with remote access—such as unsecured ports, weak passwords, or man-in-the-middle attacks—and how to mitigate them through encryption, access control, and logging.
