Remote tool security? What do you think?

I absolutely agree with you! We as developers of tools that can be used by remote employees always look at security. Every year there are more advanced and more secure ways of providing privacy and security for such tools and we always try to meet the market requirements.

When I worked in DoD research, we had to use virtualized operating systems. I can't remember the service provider, but making sure all the researchers used VPNs and virtual-desktops ensured that we weren't allowing any unauthorized apps. But for the really sensitive stuff, we had to be in-person. No exceptions.

Remote tool security is vital, especially with the rise of remote work.

i think security

they can be. ultimately it's up to end users and server admins how secure it is. most problems on the user end, aside from social engineering, can be solved with an encrypted VPN to an RDP that's on the server. it really shouldn't be that hard. the real security issue is the people who aren't tech people connecting over public WiFi or letting their laptop sit out in the open, or doing basic normal people stuff because they don't think about cyber security.
