Remote Administration

Noun · Security & Infosec

Definitions

  1. The management of systems from another location using remote shells, desktop sessions, management consoles, or automation tools. Remote administration increases efficiency, but it must be tightly controlled because the same capabilities are highly valuable to attackers.

    In plain English: Managing systems from a different location using remote tools.

    Example: "Remote administration of production servers was limited to the bastion environment and required session recording."
