[Efw-user] Remote Access Safe?

[Carlos L. <cl...@co...>]

Question for the collected brains on this group.

If we accept that most home users can not be trusted to have  
configurations able to resist the threat of drive-by malware  
downloads.  For example, most don't know any better and run their  
machines with administrator privileges or fail to deploy up-to-date  
anti-malware.

In cases where due to unexpected events such as workplace  
construction, illness at home, weather conditions, etc. it is decided  
to "just let them work from home"; how can we make sure that  
providing access to the office network via a VPN from their home  
network does not provide a backdoor for malware to the office network?

Thank you for your attention.
