Remote Access
Use of systems that are inside the perimeter of the security zone being addressed from a different geographical location with the same rights as when physically present at the location.
- NOTE: The exact definition of “remote” can vary according to situation. For example, access may come from a location that is remote to the specific zone, but still within the boundaries of a company or organization. This might represent a lower risk than access that originates from a location that is remote and outside of a company’s boundaries
