Remote Access

What method/system is the best secure using Remote access?..

dancrane · 2017-01-12T14:03:55.000Z

Well-planned VPN with RDP.

Depends on your goal.

If you need to provide access to your network from outside then dancrane’s method is reasonable, SSL VPN effectively places the device on your LAN and RDP into a terminal server is another option for those who do not have a work device outside of the network.

If you need users to be able to access their machine from the internet then services like LogMeIn are appealing and reasonably secure and a better option then opening RDP up on user workstations.

Keep in mind that these solutions are only as secure as you make them. Strong keys, strong user passwords (14 characters, Upper, Lower, Numeral, and Symbol), and Multi-Factor authentication are the minimum for a secure VPN. You’ll also want to ensure that you keep your VPN device up to date and that VPN traffic is logged and reviewed regularly.

VPN is most secure, VPN with RDP, my personal fav is Teamviewer

I still like Screen Connect.

Yes, it’s still too expensive, but it works great.

Keep it simple with no need to install any applications that may cause other issues and also need to be managed = RDP.
Simple and secure = VPN.

I run into this problem a lot. Trying to find a way to secure the remote desktop as well.

We dont use VPN because we dont want people connecting their personal computers into our network. We have no control or authority over a user’s personal computer, and if they have something nasty already on it, we dont want it.

For secure remote access, Lepide remote admin tool should be an ideal solution. It is available free and provides complete access to control as many endpoints as you require through a centralized platform.
