Background of the Study
The need for secure remote access to university networks has grown with the increasing trend of remote learning, telecommuting, and the digitalization of university services. Federal University, Dutsin-Ma, Katsina State, has seen a rise in the number of students, faculty, and staff who require remote access to university resources, including databases, email servers, and online learning platforms. However, ensuring secure remote access remains a challenge due to the potential risks posed by cyber threats, such as unauthorized access, data breaches, and exposure to malicious software (Oladipo et al., 2024).
To address these challenges, secure remote access solutions such as Virtual Private Networks (VPNs), two-factor authentication (2FA), and secure tunneling protocols must be implemented. These technologies protect the integrity and confidentiality of communications by encrypting data and ensuring that only authorized users can access the university's network remotely. This study will focus on the design and implementation of secure remote access solutions for Federal University, Dutsin-Ma, to enhance secure connectivity for remote users while safeguarding sensitive data.
