What is remote access security?
Remote access security covers how people connect to internal systems from outside the company network. A virtual private network (VPN) creates an encrypted tunnel into the network. Zero trust network access (ZTNA) instead grants access to individual applications after checking user identity and device on every request.
What the buyer is really asking
How do staff reach internal systems from outside? A VPN is one answer. Zero trust access through your identity provider is another. Either way, say that MFA is required and name the systems remote access reaches.
Other ways buyers ask it
Every one of these wants the same answer:
- “Describe your VPN and remote access security.”
- “How do remote employees access production systems?”
- “Is MFA required for remote access?”
Evidence to have ready
- VPN or zero trust access configuration
- Identity provider policies that require MFA for remote access
