The Remote Access Security Act aims to enhance the control and regulation of remote access to items that fall under U.S. export laws. The main objective is to address potential national security risks posed by foreign individuals accessing sensitive items remotely, particularly through the internet or cloud services. Key provisions of the Act include defining "remote access" and expanding existing regulations to cover this type of access. It specifies that the Secretary of Commerce can determine when remote access to an item could threaten national security or foreign policy.
