Security considerations of each access method
Each one of these remote access technologies discussed in this chapter have security considerations.
Before using a remote technology, you should first consider the nature of the information you are trying to access remotely.
Determine what kind of data is being exchanged and consider the encryption level needed.
Ex. Telnet is good for any non-sensitive information like weather reports or sports news
Ex. SSH should be used for any kind of sensitive information like passwords, usernames, or confidential emails.
