So, you have a three-layer line of defense working to protect remote access to your network: anti-virus, firewall, and VPN A virtual private network extends a private network across a public network, and enables users to send and receive data across shared or public networks as if their computing devices were directly connected to the private network. Applications running on a computing device, e.g…Virtual private network

What is remote access for IEEE Xplore?
IEEE Remote Access is now an option for IP authenticated customers to offer roaming access to users who need to access the institutional IEEE Xplore subscription off-site. Users in participating institutions can use this new feature to access IEEE Xplore content on mobile devices when away from the office or a secure network, similar to VPN.
How do I take advantage of IEEE remote access?
To take advantage of this feature, your users must be able to access an IP authenticated WiFi. Ask your librarian or administrator if your institution participates in Remote Access. For more information, visit IEEE Remote Access.

What is network security and network protection?
Network Security is the process of taking physical and software measures to protect the networking infrastructure from unauthorized access. Some set of activities that are designed to protect our network is defined as network security.
Security and Privacy in Smart Farming: Challenges and Opportunities
Internet of Things (IoT) and smart computing technologies have revolutionized every sphere of 21 st century humans. IoT technologies and the data driven services they offer were beyond imagination just a decade ago. Now, they surround us and influence a variety of domains such as automobile, smart home, healthcare, etc.
Prediction of Re-Occurrences of Spoofed ACK Packets Sent to Deflate a Target Wireless Sensor Network Node by DDOS
The Wireless Sensor Network (WSN) has evolved into a new IoT scheme, and its adoption has no restrictions at present. Sadly, security has an impact on the network of wireless sensors, and Denial-of-Service (DOS) categories of attacks are security concerns.
Reverse Engineering of Intel Microcode Update Structure
Microcode update mechanism have been widely used in modern processors. Due to the implementation details are not public, researchers are prevented from gaining any sort of further understanding currently.
Improving Predictability of User-Affecting Metrics to Support Anomaly Detection in Cloud Services
Anomaly detection systems aim to detect and report attacks or unexpected behavior in networked systems. Previous work has shown that anomalies have an impact on system performance, and that performance signatures can be effectively used for implementing an IDS.
Federating Cloud Systems for Collaborative Construction and Engineering
The construction industry has undergone a transformation in the use of data to drive its processes and outcomes, especially with the use of Building Information Modelling (BIM).
Blockchain-Enabled Trustworthy Systems
IEEE Access invites manuscript submissions in the area of Blockchain-Enabled Trustworthy Systems.
On the Automated Management of Security Incidents in Smart Spaces
The proliferation of smart spaces, such as smart buildings, is increasing opportunities for offenders to exploit the interplay between cyber and physical components, in order to trigger security incidents. Organizations are obliged to report security incidents to comply with recent data protection regulations.
The clunky mechanical keyboard-video-mouse switches of yesteryear have been replaced with slick hardware and software

KVM Switches
A KVM switch lets you select which computer your input/output peripherals connect to. In the old days, this often literally meant just the keyboard, monitor, and the mouse, which you’d typically switch between two to four computers.
Remote Access
Or you can do it all with software. Remote-desktop programs, like KVMs, let you connect your primary computer (the one you’re working on) to another computer. They give you a window on your primary display that shows what’s on the remote system’s display. When this window is your “foreground” app, you can control it with your keyboard and mouse.
