Explanation
Remote access rules govern who is permitted to connect to the organizational network from outside. Enabling strict authentication-such as multi-factor authentication (MFA), certificate-based authentication, or strong credential policies-directly controls who can gain access, making it the most targeted control for remote access scenarios. Encrypting data (A) protects data in transit but does not prevent unauthorized users from connecting. Using a third-party remote server (B) could introduce additional risk. Endpoint security (C) protects the device but does not verify the identity of the person requesting access. Authentication is the first gate for remote access and therefore the most critical safeguard.
