Remote Access Tool
Overview
A type of software that allows you to connect to a device on your campus Network from any other location. Virtual Private Networks will typically allow you fuller access to the entire network, whereas one of these remote access tools are more typically direct access to a single resource. Enable uses ConnectWise Screen Connect (CWSC) for this. Team Viewer, Jump Cloud, Parsec, and many other tools exist for this purpose. CWSC is typically safer due to the granular permissions and controls we can set and the limited access this provides to the connecting device. Remote Desktop is a Windows Server version of this that can be made secure, but by default is not the safest option to offer over the Internet.
