Remote desktop software allows employees to connect into their computer network without being physically linked to the host device or even in the same location. This makes it a useful tool for a distributed or remote workforce. Unfortunately, remote desktop software is also a prime target for cyber attack.
Among the security challenges facing IT teams implementing remote desktop software is that there are many different tools available, each using different and sometimes several ports to operate. Ports are virtual connection points that allow computers to differentiate between different kinds of traffic. The use of multiple ports can make it harder for IT security teams to monitor for and spot malicious connections and subsequent intrusion.
This article from Barracuda takes a look at the most commonly attacked tools, and how to reinforce to guard against attacks.
