RDP: a Double-Edged Sword for IT Teams - Essential Yet Exploitable
Briefly

Remote Desktop Protocol (RDP) is a significant development by Microsoft, allowing users to control remote computers efficiently. While RDP has transformed workplace dynamics, enhancing remote work and IT management, it also presents security vulnerabilities as it is a common target for hackers. The recent shift towards scanning port 1098 indicates a growing tactic among attackers to find exposed systems. With thousands of IP addresses searching for RDP services, organizations must ensure rigorous security practices to protect against unauthorized access.
Despite its benefits, RDP's widespread use makes it an attractive attack vector, requiring constant vigilance to secure properly.
IT teams can resolve technical issues remotely, eliminating travel expenses and delays and enabling scalable IT management.
