Explanation

When designing a secure remote access system, logging and audit controls are critical to ensure security and accountability. These controls help track and record user activity, monitor for suspicious or unauthorized behavior, and provide a means for investigating incidents or breaches. Without proper logging and auditing, it would be difficult to detect, investigate, or respond to potential security incidents.
