I have the Enterprise Edition of RealVNC, it uses encryption, that is 
not the security I am concerned about, I am concerned about unauthorized 
users connecting to the machine and adding spyware/adware/viruses and 
possibly connecting to the rest of our network.  These are the things I 
need to find out how to secure.
