The technology that allows for remote access to files and applications is typically associated with virtual private networks (VPNs), remote desktop applications, and cloud computing services. VPNs securely connect users to a private network over the internet, enabling access to resources as if they were on-site. Remote desktop applications, such as TeamViewer or Microsoft Remote Desktop, allow users to control a computer from a distance. This functionality allows employees to work remotely, facilitating collaboration and seamless access to work tools and data while maintaining security.
