Remote control in cybersecurity refers to the ability for an attacker to operate a device, system, or network from a distance without the owner's knowledge or consent. This is commonly achieved through malware, remote access tools (RATs), or exploiting vulnerabilities in software and hardware. Once remote control is established, attackers can steal data, install malicious software, spy on users, or use the compromised device as part of a botnet. Preventing unauthorized remote control involves using strong authentication, keeping systems updated, and monitoring for unusual activity. Remote control is a significant threat in both personal and organizational cybersecurity landscapes.
