Executive Summary: Remote Desktop is a great tool when completely secure. Users can log in to an interactive session on a remote system and start working wherever they are. Without strong protection, attackers may use this connection to access applications and data, and eventually destroy a business... Installing RDS-Knight 2.0 on servers allows revealing and fighting these dangers in real time.
RDS-Tools provides innovative performance solutions for RDS. These tools are developed to sustain business development and productivity. They enable remote access to work applications at all times, at minimal cost and with full security. Indeed, risks are high while connecting to a RDP server. Users can face frontal brute force attacks, malware, credential hacking, among other dangers. To prevent any critical incident, RDS-Tools has developed RDS-Knight:
A strong technological vigilante which acts both as a shield and a weapon to protect RDS Servers...
RDS-Knight offers up to five great protective measures to lock down servers and remote sessions:
The new 2.0 version of RDS-Knight, released last Wednesday the 25th, is enhancing these features. The complete integration of the Brute-Force Attacks Defender enables monitoring of log on failures even on an HTML5 Remote Client (such as TSplus ). Plus, it adds a new protection for the Administrators: it is now possible to whitelist any user's domain name along with the user himself when setting up security rules.
The biggest innovation however, marks a significant turning point in RDS-Knight’s development it truly reveals all the power of this solution to keep servers secure.
RDS-Knight quickly shields RDS servers against external attacks and internal attempts to steal data. To do that, it provides Administrators with the keys to activate restrictive rules in just a few clicks.
It's the easy and efficient security tool to change the lives of RDS Administrators Only until now, the power of RDS-Knight has been partially visible, acting as a “silent” vigilant. The 2.0 Release turns it into a real tracking tool, showing RDS-Knight’s defensive jobs in real time.
For instance, the Brute Force Attacks Defender is designed to show a list of blocked IP addresses, that can be whitelisted when necessary. With the 2.0 release, RDS-Knight also provides real-time information regarding the number of blocked attempts.
That means that every event and action taken is now referenced in the "see what's happening" section, accessible from the main dashboard.
With this powerful new feature, Administrators have a means to detect points of weakness and identify the malicious people involved. Based on this information, they can implement a sustainable strategy for increasing security on RDS servers.
This is a MAJOR release and it is highly recommended to apply the update file directly from the application.
