Summary

Microsoft's Remote Desktop Protocol (RDP) is a widely used tool for remote access to host computers, but its widespread use has made it a popular target for cyberattacks. RDP's security weaknesses include exposed default ports, password complexity enforcement issues, limited MFA support, known security vulnerabilities, and performance concerns with VPNs. However, Twingate is a modern Zero Trust Network Access solution that addresses these risks without hardware installation, easy integration with existing infrastructure, and no performance impact to users. With Twingate, organizations can secure their RDP services from would-be attackers and implement MFA without additional hardware deployment in under 10 minutes.
