Remote Desktop can be useful for accessing computers from another location, but it should not be exposed directly to the internet without strong protection.
Attackers constantly scan for remote access systems and try stolen or guessed passwords.
Safer remote access usually includes a VPN, secure gateway, MFA, restricted source locations, or another controlled access method.
Businesses should also disable remote access where it is not needed.
Administrative accounts used for remote access should have strong protection and should not be shared.
Remote access is valuable, especially for IT support and remote work, but convenience should not come at the cost of leaving an open door to the network.
If a remote access service must be available, it should be designed as a security project rather than simply turned on.
