Remote Network attacks

Allowing secure access to your systems when you and your staff are outside of the office is one of the benefits of having your own remote IT infrastructure. Remote access enables employees to work from home, access data when on the road, and embrace all of the advantages that come with Cloud IT. While managing your computer from afar or troubleshooting a company PC remotely makes your organization more efficient, that same versatility leaves your organization open to potential attacks from all sorts of locations.

Did you know that hackers are constantly testing every IP address on the planet for open ports that could allow them access?  Others may compromise your network security by running a password-cracking tool and simulating a remote access session with cracked username/password information. Cybercriminals and hackers can use this same efficiency to gain remote access to your systems to:

• install malware (spyware, ransomware, viruses)
• carry out email phishing
• compromise 3rd-party vendors and clients
• enable insider threats
• leave your organization vulnerable to social engineering hacks
• use of vulnerable applications to compromise systems
• and much more.

As a real-world example, Remote Desktop uses port 3389.  Turn up a brand new internet connection and monitor incoming requests.  You will immediately see that someone is trying to connect via Remote Desktop connection to your brand new internet connection hoping that you haven't set up your systems to prevent these unwanted connections.  At Ideal Networks, we have multiple ways to block these connections and still allow you to safely connect to your systems remotely.
