The second part I need to implement for this remote access control policy is Authentication, which is defined as: what you know or passwords, numeric keys, PIN numbers, secret questions and answers. For remote access, there has to be proof that the person is who they say they are every time they attempt to access a workstation with a retry limit. This is to help stop or keep out any hacking attempts that could be made such as: Man in the middle attacks, keylogging and bruteforcing. Also using knowledge authentication for recovery will make it harder to any potential
