| Remote network access is accomplished by leveraging common communication protocols and establishing a remote connection. Remote access is any access to an organizational information system by a user (or an information system) communicating through an external, non-organization-controlled network (e.g., the Internet). Examples of remote access methods include dial-up, broadband, and wireless. Automated monitoring of remote access sessions allows organizations to audit user activities on a variety of information system components (e.g., servers, workstations, notebook/laptop computers) and to ensure compliance with remote access policy. Applicable, but permanent not-a-finding - No dial-up/wireless. Auditing is enabled by default and cannot be configured. Access is monitored. |
