During these times of pandemic, jobs have been forced to change their paradigms, because it was customary to perform business work from location to location, mobilizing staff and filling out change work at the technological level, this requires vehicles, resources that generate an expense to companies.
For 16 years now, several companies have been working on what is the "remote desktop" a direct access window with graphic interfaces that allows us to manage computers from other computers remotely, of course this technology has advanced so much that we already have full services that are offered through this type of platform.
How do they work?
Two computers connected to the Internet can access a remote desktop service, which allows the computers to have a graphical interface to the desktop in real time.

In this way the computer can operate the peripherals, such as keyboard and mouse from anywhere and access any function of the computer. This is done with the main intention of making remote technical support while the user waits for it to be solved.
Now you should not misinterpret the situation this type of services provide a secure server to communicate remotely computers through passwords or emails that both users authorize.
Because there are also malicious programs that fulfill this same function, almost always steal information from the computers that get access with programs that are installed in the background, if one day you notice that your computer is moving just disconnect the internet service and call your trusted technician.
On the other hand, with remote access programs, the user can cancel his remote desktop management at any time, remember that today's computers store a lot of valuable information for users, so it is understandable concerns.
Now well in these years of pandemic these programs have been the standard of battle to be able to work from home accessing computers of their workplaces and facilitating in the same way to the companies that no longer must mobilize the technical personnel for services or other means.
Recommendations for secure remote desktop systems.
