Fine-Tune the Level of Remote Desktop Security
Recent flaws in Remote Desktop Protocol (RDP) have shined a spotlight on remote access protocol risks.
In a public service announcement published in September 2018, the FBI warned companies about the dangers of leaving RDP endpoints exposed online: RDP as an attack vector has been on the rise since mid-late 2016.
A Webroot report from March 2017 even pins RDP as the favorite method for delivering ransomware, topping spam campaigns.
RDP can be a secure protocol, but it's how it is deployed, properly secured and used that counts. The best security requires the best tools. RDS-Knight is the gatekeeper for your remote access servers.
RDP is a great tool used by administrators and users alike to establish connections to a centralized system from multiple locations. But just like anything else, if the connections and software aren’t secure, companies put themselves at risk.
When it comes to exposing Remote Desktop Protocol to direct connections, you need a solid secure server to protect your systems against remote attackers. Due to the innovative techniques available for modern cyber-criminals and a use-after-free vulnerability in the Microsoft solution, hackers from all across the globe can easily access login credentials anywhere at all, carry out ransomware attacks and run arbitrary code on the targeted systems.
Meanwhile, our team of qualified experts has worked hard to secure your remote desktop access. Born from the clear understanding of the problem, RDS-Knight offers advanced functionality and makes the use of remote access in your daily routine as safe as possible. Now, with RDS-Knight you can easily manage the entire fleet of workstations even if you are a thousand miles away.
Keep your Server Secure
If you want to log into your personal computer from another location, RDS-Knight is your sword and shield for protecting your server environment against unauthenticated attackers. Our product is designed to secure remote desktop, monitor login failures, block prohibited or suspicious IPs and prevent unauthorized actions. Checking your computer’s remote access options, RDS-Knight provides you with excellent control over the connected users with granted access.
Access your Workstation Safely
Using the RDP Defender service, you can create a whitelist with dedicated IPs you need to achieve the server, and set the essential number of incorrect password attempts. Typically, setting the maximum failed login attempts from a single IP is an effective countermeasure for avoiding brute-force attacks.
If you want to secure server login and allow connections only from specific countries, be assured that our product will protect your system against any foreign attackers. On top of that, our cyber crime fighter offers endpoint protection and device control for regular checking of the device names approved for any incoming session.
Remember, HACKERS AND MALICIOUS BOTS NEVER SLEEP. With RDS-Knight, you can hook into your workstation anytime, anywhere without the fear of external attacks. Contact us today, add this outstanding tool to your arsenal, and use remote access to its full potential.
RDS-Knight exists in two Editions:
RDS-Knight Security Essentials is the best package to keep your Remote Desktop connection safe, with great protection features. It is the low-cost security solution you can even apply to all W7/W10 Pro RDP accesses.
RDS-Knight Ultimate Protection is the security tool every Windows Server administrator “Must Has”: it provides all that you need to effectively protect your users’ environments and prohibit malicious actions.
Included features are detailed below.
The 360 Degree Approach to Security
RDS-Knight Security Essentials provides three major protections:
- Homeland Protection: prevents foreign attackers to open a session.
- Prevents Brute-Force Attacks: blacklists the offending IP addresses.
- Working Hours Restriction: prohibits users to connect at night (for all Users).
RDS-Knight Ultimate Protection provides all protections you need:
- Homeland Access Protection: Restrict RDP access and allow connections from only specific countries.
- Working Hours Restrictions: Allow remote connections only during pre-defined office hours.
- Brute-Force attacks Defender: Set a lockout policy to stop hackers from trying to brute force their way into a server.
- One Click to Secure Desktops: In one click, administrators can configure Group Policy Objects (GPOs) to have the encryption level set to their individual standard.
- Endpoint Access Protection: By restricting access per device, Endpoint Access Portection enables an additional layer of authentication before establishing a connection to the RDP host server.
RDP is a great tool used by administrators and users alike to establish connections to a centralized system from multiple locations. But just like anything else, if the connections and software aren’t secure, companies put themselves at risk.
Geo-Restriction for RDP
Your users are located in USA, UK and Canada offices. Why anyone should be able to open a session from China, India, Iran, or Germany?
In a snap with RDS-Knight, you protect your RDS servers from any attackers trying to open a session from foreign countries. This is extremely simple and so powerful. Just do it!
This feature is included in RDS-Knight Security Essentials.
Protect your Servers At Night
Of course, your users should be free to connect and to work when they are at their desks. However, why would they be allowed to open a session at midnight?
With RDS-Knight, you can specify the working time of the day when each of your user or group are allowed to open sessions.
It will be so easy and amazingly nice to enhance your security policies.
This feature is included in RDS-Knight Security Essentials.
Block Brute-force Attacks
If your Windows server is publicly available on Internet, then there is a 100% probability that hackers, network scanners and brute force robots are trying to guess your Administrator login and password – as we speak. Using current logins and password dictionaries, they will automatically try to login to your server hundreds to thousands times every minute. Not only this is bad for your server’s security, but it can also consume a lot of its resources (CPU and bandwidth)!
Stop the constant attacks right now with RDS-Knight brute-force attacks defender. It will instantly protect your server by monitoring Windows failed login attempts and automatically blacklist the offending IP addresses after several failures. Moreover, you can of course configure it to match your needs.
This feature is included in RDS-Knight Security Essentials.
One Click to Set User Rights Policies
Windows is providing many powerful GPOs but it will cost you several days to enforce the expected security rules. Most of us are not comfortable enough with such kind of system restriction policies; as a result we give up on it or we select only few of them.
In one click, RDS-Knight will enforce for you the best security practice. In few minutes, you will get the best level of security that you expect to achieve for your Remote Desktop user’s environment. It is as easy to do it “user per user”, or to set it up “per group”. More than a time-saver to protect your server, RDS-Knight is providing you more security without complexity.
Device Protection
Why should a hacker be able to use a stolen Windows credential to open a session from any device? This should be prevented. The EndPoint Protection is the right answer. It will bind the user’s credential to the user’s own device.
How does that work? RDS-Knight will record the user’s device name at his first connection. The administrator can decide to restrict access for this logon to that recorded device’s name. Doing so, any attempt to connect from another device will be automatically detected and rejected.
