Remote Access, Session Enablement, and Recording

Securden facilitates launching remote privileged sessions 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. For additional security, Securden provides an option to configure a gateway to route all remote connections. The gateway holds the Securden Session Manager component.

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 minimize the security risks associated with misuse of privileged access.
