A method and system for supporting secure remote access to computer syste ms and networks, wherein the universe of computer systems and networks to be accessed is partitioned between a plurality of remote sites, each having the ability to grant limited access rights to an external management entity, comprising of the creation of a pending-access request by the external management entity when it determines that access is required to a specific remote site; the initiation of a one-way communication with the external management entity, by an autonomous service located at the specific remote site, at pre-defined times to retrieve the pending-access request; the retrieval of the pending-access request by the speck remote site; the opening of a secure bi-directional communication conduit between t he specific remote site and the external management entity; the use of the secu re bi-directional communication conduit for remote access to the specific remot e site; and the tearing down of the secure bi-directional communication conduit.
