Winfrasoft today announced the launch of
its Remote Desktop Agent (RDA) that takes advantage of its award-winning PINgrid solution to deliver secure two-factor
authentication (2FA) for organisations using Microsoft’s Remote Desktop
Services. Quick and easy-to-deploy without the need for code changes, RDA
enables IT security teams to comply with 2FA policy requirements, without
slowing down the user log-in experience.
When a user
attempts to log-in to their desktop remotely they are presented with the familiar
username and password challenge, alongside which they are asked to enter their
one-time PINgrid passcode. The user simply enters the digits included within
their individual PINgrid pattern, which is displayed on their smartphone or
tablet, via the PINgrid app. For organisations that want to strengthen their
authentication but do not require full 2FA, RDA can be deployed directly on to
the login screen as a non-obtrusive 1.5FA solution.
CEO of
Winfrasoft, Steven Hope comments: “Many organisations rely on Microsoft’s
Remote Desktop Services to provide employees with anywhere access to their
desktop via an Internet connection. The big problem for IT security teams is
that it doesn’t have two-factor authentication built-in. Our RDA solution uses
PINgrid, which is trusted by public and private sector organisations around the
world to deliver strong authentication.”
Remote Desktop
Agent is available now.
