Hi,<br />
<br />
I have a question regarding remote users and security.<br />
<br />
Which one is better or the standard way?<br />
<br />
1. VPN and RDP to a inside computer<br />
2. VPN without RDP, but more restrictions through ACLs.<br />
<br />
What is the way to go? PS: We have extremely sensitive PII information.<br />
<br />
Thank you in advance!<br />

Remote Access and Security: VPN and RDP or only VPN? What is the best way?

Remote access may refer to the connection to a data-processing system from a remote location, for example through a virtual private network remote desktop software, terminal emulation, or the activation of features of a business telephone system from outside the business's premises.

Remote Access

A virtual private network (VPN) is a network that uses a public telecommunication infrastructure, such as the Internet, to provide remote offices or travelling users access to a central organizational network securely. VPNs encapsulate data transfers using secure cryptographic methods and other security mechanisms to ensure that only authorized users can access the network and that the data cannot be intercepted.

Security is the protection of information systems from theft or damage to the hardware, the software, and the information on them, as well as from disruption or misdirection of the services they provide. The main goal of security is protecting assets, and an asset is anything of value and worthy of protection.  Information Security is a discipline of protecting information assets from threats through safeguards to achieve the objectives of confidentiality, integrity, and availability or CIA for short. On the other hand, disclosure, alteration, and disruption (DAD) compromise the security objectives.
