Secure Remote Access¶
Securden facilitates launching remote connections with servers, databases, network devices, and others. By default, all remote connections and operations happen through the Securden server. This approach ensures that there is no direct connectivity between the end users and the target devices.
The remote access mechanism helps grant remote privileged access to users and third parties without punching holes on the corporate firewall to protocols like RDP and SSH. The remote connection is either a web-based one through ‘HTTPS’ or standard native clients for RDP and SSH.
Granting access without revealing passwords¶
The remote access architecture enables granting access to target devices and applications without revealing the underlying passwords or keys. This practice helps minimise the security risks associated with misuse of privileged access.
