An organization often manages Windows systems from public Wi-Fi connections. Which measure helps reduce the chance of unauthorized infiltration while maintaining remote functionality?
Enable advanced encryption and event logs for direct connections
Deploy a restricted gateway with multifactor prompts
Turn off tracking data to reduce potential overhead
Use a single passcode for administrators accessing servers
Using a standalone gateway that enforces additional authentication methods is an effective way to mitigate risks. A gateway serving as a single entry point limits unauthorized pathways, and adding more stringent authentication prevents intruders from exploiting direct connections. Simply enabling encryption without strict authentication or logging can still expose open services to attackers, disabling logs hides useful forensic data but offers no real safeguard, and shared passcodes create weak, common credentials vulnerable to exploitation.
