Direct Connection
It is possible to remotely install a piece of software on a computer with the intention of taking control of that computer without the legitimate operator becoming aware of it. This connection type can normally only be made if the remote computer operator has the I.P address of the computer required to be controlled. Most "firewall" software usually "blocks" this type of invasive software. However, experienced computer software programmers have developed sophisticated programs to "bypass" typical firewall software. There is a continual process to produce counter measures against such intrusive software programs.
Security is an important factor when choosing a remote support solution for any enterprise. Gone are the days where security was just a matter of the highest degree of encryption. Today, a truly secure remote support solution will allow organizations to centrally control who can do what and where safe in the knowledge that when each remote session has finished it should be able to document what actually took place.
For systems in environments that need to meet and maintain compliance requirements, remote administration software must have strict security control. Software like Netop Remote Control 10 is able to exceed the toughest security standards including PCI DSS, ISO 27001, FIPS and HIPAA.
It is necessary to examine the remote control software functionality that best serves organizations that need a highly secure tool that crosses all platforms and devices and is completely scalable in any environment. It will help IT professionals select a remote control solution that increases productivity and customer satisfaction, as well as enhances the flexibility of the IT organization and improves the company’s risk profile.

Famous quotes containing the words direct and/or connection:
“Besides, our action on each other, good as well as evil, is so incidental and at random, that we can seldom hear the acknowledgments of any person who would thank us for a benefit, without some shame and humiliation. We can rarely strike a direct stroke, but must be content with an oblique one; we seldom have the satisfaction of yielding a direct benefit, which is directly received.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
“One must always maintain one’s connection to the past and yet ceaselessly pull away from it. To remain in touch with the past requires a love of memory. To remain in touch with the past requires a constant imaginative effort.”
—Gaston Bachelard (1884–1962)
