Since its initial release as a stand-alone security solution in 2017, RDS-Knight has evolved into a reliable and easy-to-use cyber security multi-tool. With the 4.5 version released last month, RDS-Knight provides further customisable settings for protection adapted to every need.

In the wrong hands, RDP can be a powerful weapon that enables a threat actor to bypass defenses and launch a serious cyberattack. At the same time, viruses designed for broad attacks are being replaced by customised malware that can target specific companies or individuals.

The solution is a customised security shield to efficiently protect corporate servers and data, such as RDS-Knight a security program which offers multiple customizable layers of protection for RDS servers.

RDS-Knight’s seven powerful features can be deployed and managed with just a few clicks. The smart interface gives administrators powerful security tools – all in one place: from access control and session restriction tools to automated attack defence, ransomware protection and Windows permissions management for folders, registry and printers (since version 4.5) .

This tool offers a wide range of settings for all needs, and is available in two editions for businesses of all sizes.

RDS-Knight Version 4.5 Allows Further Customization

RDS-Knight helps improve network security by providing a clear, real-time security event log and centralised IP address management which allows the Administrator to easily evaluate and set the right level of protection.

The Ultimate Edition of RDS-Knight includes extra functionality that lets the administrator follow up on the security alerts and take action from within the RDS-Knight environment.

With the 4.5 release RDS-Knight offers wider customization options, all accessible from the Advanced Settings tab. For example, the built-in firewall which increases RDS-Knight’s compatibility with industry-standard antivirus options, has been further enhanced with a setting to automatically unblock IP addresses after a certain amount of time.

To save on memory and bandwidth consumption and allow the best performance, it’s also now possible to define a Data Retention Policy for the Event Log history.
