Remote-access services are essential but can leave your systems vulnerable. Consider these tactics to secure network access for full-time telecommuters and casual users.
IT managers are under increased pressure to provide broad remote-access capabilities.

Because they depend upon remote access for all their work, companies usually don't have too much trouble justifying high-end solutions for the full-time telecommuter by providing them with a company-owned computer, firewall and 24x7 help desk access. But how can we effectively (and affordably) support the low-end needs of other users?
