Remote access: The capability of accessing a computer or a network from a distant location. This can be achieved through various technologies like Virtual Private Networks (VPN), remote desktop software, or other secure access tools. Remote access enables users to access files, data, and applications on the remote system as if they were physically present at that location, providing flexibility and enabling collaboration.
