RDP Security

Definitions

1. The hardening, monitoring, and access control practices used to protect Remote Desktop Protocol services and sessions. RDP security typically involves network restriction, MFA, patching, gateway use, account lockout controls, and careful logging because exposed RDP is a common intrusion path.

   In plain English: The security measures used to protect Windows remote desktop access.

   Example: "The new policy improved RDP security by forcing admins through a bastion host and removing direct public exposure entirely."
