Comptia Security+ PBQ – Remote Access Security

Scenario

As the network administrator at a growing healthcare organization, you are tasked with improving the security of remote connections for staff accessing the company network from their personal devices. The organization requires a solution that supports a large number of simultaneous users securely and can scale easily without the complexity of managing multiple gateway points.

To comply with the company's new policy on remote access security, you are responsible for:

Choosing a remote access technology that is widely trusted for its security and scalability in enterprise settings with heavy user traffic.
Establishing a user authentication scheme that mandates multi-factor verification and implementing device authentication based on asymmetric cryptography to confirm device identity through digital certificates.
Adding further authentication controls to strengthen the overall access process and protect sensitive healthcare data.
