Today’s remote desktop protocol (RDP) clients don’t do enough to promote a strong security posture. They default to weak password-based authentication, leaving Windows infrastructure vulnerable to brute force attacks, and assume a direct connection to a well-known port is available. At Teleport we’re a bit bonkers about always trying to build the most secure solution, so we set out to do something different.
At Teleport we provide secure access to our customers’ infrastructure adding passwordless SSO, session recording and audit for every connection. Every day our customers login into their clusters and connect to their infrastructure. We weren’t happy with how long it took ssh to establish connections to target hosts when going through Teleport proxy.
