Recently, I wrote about the importance of combining multifactor authentication (MFA) and privileged access management. According to 2018 Global Password Security Report, 45% of organizations are already using two-factor authentication (2FA) and the 451 Group reports that 53% of businesses have adopted MFA. As these numbers continue to grow, new challenges are emerging relating to authentication, shared privileged accounts and creating a virtual MFA.
RDP or VNC Access
A friend recently asked me to explain the difference between RDP and VNC protocol to remotely access a computer.
RDP stands for Remote Desktop Protocol. It is a proprietary protocol built by Microsoft to let users graphically control a remote computer.
More than two-thirds believe identity management is important to their security strategy, yet less than half are using key identity and access management (IAM) technologies.
