Secure Remote Access¶
Securden helps launch secure connections to servers, databases, network devices, and other assets. By default, all remote connections and remote operations are routed through Securden to prevent direct access from end user machines to target devices.
This method helps launch remote connections without adopting perimeter-based security systems such as VPN or perforating the corporate rewall. The remote connection can either be web-based or through native RDP and SSH clients.
Web based connections¶
Web-based connections are supported out of the box and no ports are required to be opened. All connections are routed through a remote gateway.
Native clients for RDP and SSH¶
To launch remote connections to IT assets through native RDP and SSH clients, you need to install a lightweight remote launcher on end-user machines.
Grant access without revealing passwords¶
The remote access mechanism allows you to grant access to IT assets without revealing the underlying passwords, SSH keys, and certificates. This helps avert risks associated with privilege misuse. Also, Securden provides the flexibility to selectively mask and reveal passwords based on different user categories.
Design Highlights
- Secured native and web-based remote connections.
- All connections are routed through Securden server, ensuring no direct connectivity between end-user machines and target devices.
