We see reports like this all the time:
- Vulnerability found in OpenSSH again! (1)
- RDP is a huge security risk for companies (2)
- Security researchers warn of vulnerable VNC software (3)
Some of these have been known for some time, others open up new attack possibilities. In all cases, administrators and security officers are called upon to reduce the attack surface of IT systems and close these vulnerabilities. This does not happen promptly in every company; often people are not even aware that there are potential risks in the company. A constant race between developers, administrators and security officers against the hacker scene, which unfortunately is usually one step ahead.
SparkView can help minimize these risks for companies, as the vulnerable protocols are only used on the intranet, behind the secure SparkView application.
SparkView is a simple and secure way to connect untrusted devices to your desktops and applications. The ZTNA solution without installation on the client provides secure remote access from any device with a browser. All via HTML5 technology.
Central administration, easy integration into the existing IT landscape and integration into existing security systems / firewalls are the strengths of this solution.
