Remote access--literally getting to an application from outside the glass house--is not intrinsically risky. I'm logged on to my system now from my dining room table. To get to any application--including HMC--I must first VPN into the company network. That requires several hoop jumping steps, after which I have essentially the same access that I have from my office.
The rub for me is that I cannot VPN from my mobile device. The aforementioned hoops are Windows applications. Even if there were some technological solution, I don't know that the company would allow it. Otherwise the HMC is just a browser away. That's how I get there from my office PC. . . .

I hope that IBM isn't allowing that. Remote access to a HMC seems to be a security hole large enough to drive a truck through.
