Recently, at work, we were discussing about different ways to secure RDP (Remote Desktop). Some were of the opinion that it is not at all secure. Some were of the view that it is secure as it has SSL included by default in Windows 2008.
I then remembered about many ways that can help us. I have tried to list them down here.
- Set a default list of user accounts that can connect to the computer.
- Set a default list of computers allowed to connect to the computer.
- Configure encryption levels
- Set permissions for users and groups on the terminal server.
- Restrict the number of client sessions that can remain active on the server.
- Use SSL to enforce server identity checking and end-to-end data encryption for RDP.
You can also use a software such as Secure RDP that can also help you a lot.
