Can anyone out there shed some light on the risks that may be associated with placing one of these remote connecting computers in a local network that has significant financial and sensitive data on the network?
Specifically, does it open my network up to some security loopholes.
Right now I have comcast business, with a linksys router (BEFSR41).
Can anyone give me some input as to what type of security my network should have, and whether these remote connection programs put that at risk.
I am not implying that my network is secure right now, as my old router had a firewall built in, but I don't use wireless, which as I understand could pose a threat too.
Thanks in advance.
