Operation principles

Netop Remote Control utilizes a number of modules in order to provide various solutions. In basic environment like a LAN a minimum of two modules are required.

  • The Host module, which runs on the computer that needs to be accessed remotely.
  • The Guest module, which runs on the computer that is used to access distant computers.

For more advanced[5] environments and heterogeneous networks other modules may be part of the complete solution.

  • The Security Server module, which provides centralized management of remote users and logging of remote control activities.
  • The Gateway Server module, which provides single point of access into and out of networks and terminal server environments.
  • The WebConnect Server module, which provides firewall friendly connections via internet.

Security

Security is an important factor[6] when choosing a remote support solution for any enterprise. Netop Remote Control allows 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,[7] remote administration software must have strict security control. Netop Remote Control 10.5 is able to exceed security standards including PCI DSS, ISO 27001, FIPS and HIPAA.

It is necessary to examine [8] 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.
