SafeRemote - Secure Access to Remote Desktop

  • Storing sensitive data and your customers ask about security?
  • Moving to Cloud servers that seem too unprotected?
  • Logon to the servers' Remote Desktop being too insecure?








SafeRemote Functionality

SafeRemote makes the Remote Desktop (RDP) safe by adding an "authentication factor" for logon.

Authentication factors are defined like this in the IT industry:

  1. The first factor is something you "know", usually a password.
  2. The second factor is something you "have", for example a mobile phone, a security dongle, a security token or a PKI certificate. (A mobile phone in turn is identified by a unique number in its SIM card.)
  3. The third factor is something you "are", for example your fingerprint or your retina.

SafeRemote simply uses your mobile phone to add a second factor. Since password cracking unfortunately has become common, this second factor increases the security to a high degree but is still easy to deploy, use and understand.

SafeRemote has got a configuration web page that is very simple to use. Here the administrator enter which user names that should get access via two factor authentication.
