In today's technological age, remote access is a critical part of modern business. It offers many benefits to organizations of all sizes.

To control someone else's computer, you need to have the necessary permissions or authorization to access their device.

Consequently to the trust extended by such potential, it is paramount to avoid potential hackers remotely controlling your computer to prevent any damage to or theft of your data. Malicious persons who gain access to your computer can steal sensitive information, install malware, or even use your computer for illegal activities.
Thus, to prevent this from happening, you need to take proactive steps to safeguard your computer from external attacks. Businesses and larger enterprises are amongst the prime targets. This makes it all the more important to be thorough when securing our company data and IT infrastructures.

Indeed, two-factor authentication requires a second means of authentication in addition to the password. These can be a fingerprint, facial recognition or a code sent to the user's mobile phone.
