In which of the following security tests does the security testing team simulate as an employee or other person with an authorized connection to the organization's network?

Remote dial-up testing simulates an attacker connecting via modem or dial-up lines from outside the organization, not an insider with authorized local access.

Stolen equipment testing evaluates risks from physical theft of devices such as laptops, focusing on data-at-rest protections rather than simulating an authorized network user.

Remote network testing simulates an external attacker connecting over the internet or a WAN link, which is the opposite of an insider scenario.

In a local network security test, the tester is physically or logically positioned inside the network perimeter, mimicking an employee or contractor who already has authorized connectivity. This tests internal controls, lateral movement possibilities, and trust boundaries that would be exploited by a malicious insider or a compromised internal account.
