Access to applications and data that are physically located in the system (organisation, editorial office) is possible, with appropriate permissions, from any computer in the world. In this way, work is significantly facilitated, shortens the time required for data processing, and enables participation in the fieldwork process.

From a security point of view, teleworking has serious drawbacks. Establishing a connection between the network or server in the system and the external computer opens the possibility for MitM (Man in the Middle) attacks. MitM is a type of technical attack in which the client and server are not necessarily at risk, but the attacker uses connection flaws to access their communication and commit data theft.

A secure way to work remotely is to connect via VPN (Virtual Private Network). It is a service of creating a separate tunnel between two computers on the public network, which is specially encrypted for protection one of the best VPN implementation software at the organisational level is OpenVPN.

Organisations can opt to use solutions such as Nextcloud or CryptPad in order to have access to collaborative productivity tools (documents, spreadsheets, etc.) as well as secure file storage and sharing.
