RDS-Knight V5 is generally available since last month. This new release is a major update bringing important innovations to offer the best available Ransomware Protection on the market. Cybersecurity experts at RDS-Tools have been working for months to deliver an anti-malware capable of coping with today’s growing threats targeting remote desktop services.

Remote Access Needs the Right Protection for Ransomware Attacks

Ransomware is an ever-increasing threat to remote desktop services. The COVID-19 crisis has only accelerated this trend with the generalisation of Remote Working. Lately, attacks have reached a new record: Cyber criminals are breaking into organisations’ networks using remote connections, to exploit unpatched vulnerabilities and weak authentication.

As an experienced provider of security solutions for remote access, RDS-Tools is well aware of the risk. Since RDS-Knight First developments three years ago, R&D investments have been focused on reinforcing the Ransomware Protection efficiency.

RDS-Knight is a complete cybersecurity solution for Remote Desktop services. It provides an array of tools to lock all possible entry points and prevent breaches. Seven different features allow delivering the best level of security for remote sessions, web portal and server access. The mandatory Ransomware Protection is only available with the Ultimate Edition.

RDS-Knight V5 Offers Advanced Ransomware Protection

In its initial version, RDS-Knight [s Ransomware Protection was able to quickly stop and quarantine the malware using fake folders as a honeypot to automatically detect the attack. The Version 5 is a major release and turns this tool into a super weapon: redeveloped from scratch, the program is an unbreakable Ransomware shield.

The new Ransomware Protection ensures the highest efficiency thanks to a combination of two detection methods: static analysis – to read the code without running the suspicious program, and behavioural analysis – to immediately spot any attempt to modify local files. Thus, RDS-Knight is able to deal with well-known threats based on the current style of common ransomware, as well as to recognise the threats of tomorrow based on behaviour.

This smart innovation allows RDS-Knight to quickly detect ransomware as soon as it tries operating on the system and to block it before it can encrypt a single file.

When enabled, Ransomware Protection detects ransomware and stops attacks before files get encrypted.

The protection offers even more: it provides a way to easily restore files and programs which were targeted by the malware to their original location in one click. To do so, RDS-Knight automatically captures “snapshots” of all opened files and running programs before and during the attack. These backups help track all modifications and eventually reset them in one click.

The feature’s parameters such as quantity of snapshots (in % of hard drive) and retention time can be managed from RDS-Knight 's “Advanced Setting” tab.

RDS-Knight also includes a whitelist for admins to add programs and trusted publishers in order to prevent incompatibilities with other antivirus software and to avoid false detection which could lead to the quarantine of business apps.

RDS-Knight V5 and its brand-new Ransomware Protection is available in free trial version.
