Protocollo Desktop remoto: di cosa si tratta e il motivo della preoccupazione per la sicurezza

Remote Desktop Protocol (RDP) è un protocollo Microsoft progettato per la connessione remota a un altro computer. 

RDP comes with some very convenient features including screen sharing and the ability to give complete remote control of a device to an IT expert providing technical assistance to a user from far away.

Anche se questa tecnologia viene attualmente utilizzata da milioni di persone in tutto il mondo, aumentano le preoccupazioni per la sicurezza informatica, soprattutto perché viene utilizzata come vettore per gli attacchi tramite ransomware.

According to Kaspersky, in early 2021 alone there were more than 377.5 million brute-force attacks targeting RDP. And last year was not any better. RDP attacks grew from 91.3 million in January to more than 277.4 million by March 2020 alone. That's a 197% increase in 3 months! 

Considering such a dangerous increase in ransomware attacks targeting RDP, it's time for businesses - especially those with information technology (IT) environments relying on RDP to reconsider their reliance on this now decades-old remote access protocol.

Why Is RDP So Insecure and Increasingly Targeted by Cybercriminals?

Lo abbiamo chiesto ad alcuni esperti di sicurezza informatica in diversi settori.

According to Todd Gifford, CTO at Optimizing IT, "RDP has historically been an insecure method of gaining console access to machines across a network because it is enabled by default and open to all on the internet at a network level." And “in many cases," says Todd, "that default open-to-all approach hasn't ever changed, and as a result, there are no good password controls complexity, and account lockout."

Rajesh Parthasarathy, fondatore e CEO di MENTIS, spiega perché al protocollo RDP mancano caratteristiche di sicurezza fondamentali.

"Imagine a city built without planning – houses built as per convenience, roads built to offer the least amount of travel, commercial areas, and industries built as per space availability," says Rajesh. "As time progresses, and more and more people start moving in, the city will collapse as it fails to adapt to these evolving needs - RDP or Remote Desktop Protocol suffers from a similar shortcoming."

In other words, RDP was not built to handle today's security concerns and requirements.  Hence, it has become outdated and vulnerable to threats, which cybercriminals have noticed.

"Entire attacker ecosystems exist to find open RDP instances and either steal credentials through phishing or guess commonly used username and password combinations until the right pair is found," says Jason Rebholz, CISO at Corvus Insurance.

To this, Todd adds that after working to continuously guess RDP passwords, cyber criminals eventually get in.  And "Once the attackers log in," says Todd, "they disable or remove any anti-malware service as well as any logging or any software that might alert an admin to any problems."

Bram Jansen, Chief Editor of vpnAlert, says that "once your endpoint protection is disabled, no security solution will be able to help you if this happens."

Se l'RDP è così insicuro, perché le persone continuano a usarlo? 

In una recente intervista a Jerry Hsieh, Direttore senior per la sicurezza e la conformità di Splashtop, abbiamo analizzato a fondo questa domanda.

According to Jerry, IT staff continue to use RDP because it is often free and easy as it is built-in within Microsoft. "This means IT teams don't need to purchase anything special," explains Jerry. "It comes with your Microsoft license, although RDS (Remote Desktop Services) requires additional licenses."

Con un numero in continuo aumento di attacchi ransomware che prendono di mira RDP, è il momento di considerare altre soluzioni.

Alternative al Remote Desktop Protocol poco sicuro

Virtual Private Networks (VPN) over RDP

Dal momento che RDP non è sicuro sin dall'inizio, viene spesso abilitato solo per l'accesso alla rete interna. Ma cosa succede se gli utenti vogliono usare RDP al di fuori della rete aziendale? Ecco allora che l'uso di una VPN insieme a RDP diventa un'opzione da prendere in considerazione.

Una rete privata virtuale, o VPN, crea una connessione Internet tra due posizioni per consentire agli utenti di accedere a computer e file in quella rete in remoto. Poiché la VPN è considerata un'estensione della rete aziendale, le persone pensano che sia "sicuro" eseguire RDP attraverso il tunnel VPN. Tuttavia, ci sono molte vulnerabilità VPN che sono state divulgate nel corso del decennio.

I problemi di sicurezza delle VPN includono:

  • VPN infrastructure updates are primarily manual, not automatic. That is because critical security features like multi-factor authentication and device authentication are not always included. This can expose remote devices and corporate networks to lateral threats, such as ransomware - the same threats that concern RDP.

  • VPNs are not Zero Trust Network Access ready.

    A Zero Trust Network Access (ZTNA) framework is made of a set of technologies that operates on an adaptive trust model. Access to information and networks is granted only according to user permissions. Ultimately, the ZTNA framework gives users seamless connectivity without compromising security or safety for both individuals and their data. Due to the way traditional VPNs work, they cannot support ZTNA. For all these security concerns, a 2019 Gartner report predicted that by 2023, 60% of enterprises would phase out their remote access VPN in favor of more secure solutions.

Per di più, le VPN presentano notevoli svantaggi in termini di scalabilità e prestazioni:

  • Poiché una VPN non è progettata per gestire traffico intenso e più utenti contemporaneamente, è difficile distribuirla su larga scala per soddisfare le esigenze di una forza lavoro completamente remota o ibrida

  • La scalabilità di una rete VPN richiede l'aggiornamento della CPU/memoria VPN, il che si traduce in un processo lungo e complicato per l'IT. Quindi, spesso, le VPN non offrono la possibilità di eseguire un aggiornamento. Questo costringe molti utenti ad acquistare un modello di fascia più alta, che, ovviamente, è molto più costoso.

  • Each employee needs a company-issued device for a VPN to work in a remote office setup. As a result, BYOD devices (such as employees' home devices) cannot be leveraged.

Software di accesso remoto: la moderna alternativa al protocollo RDP?

Al pari di RDP e VPN, il software di accesso remoto consente di accedere a un computer o dispositivo da un altro dispositivo, in qualsiasi momento e da qualsiasi luogo.

Unlike a VPN, remote access software is built to handle high traffic and provides complete access to remote computers' files and applications, regardless of the network. This makes it more suitable than a VPN for a remote or hybrid environment.

Unlike RDP, remote access software is also more prepared to handle today's security concerns. It comes with built-in security features like SSO (Single Sign-On), MFA (Multi-Factor Authentication), device authentication, and automatic infrastructure updates to keep updated with security standards. It’s almost maintenance free.

While there are many remote access software providers in the market, Splashtop offers one of the most secure in the market. Although some remote access software companies build their software on top of the RDP infrastructure, Splashtop took a different approach to create something unique for the sake of security and a better user experience. This positions Splashtop software as a next-generation remote access software built to handle today's security challenges in remote connections.

In che modo il software per l'accesso remoto di nuova generazione Splashtop è migliore e diverso rispetto al protocollo RDP?

Il cofondatore e CTO di Splashtop, Phil Sheu, ha risposto a questa domanda nel corso di una recente intervista di Splashtop sul protocollo RDP.

"Let's say you have a house on the street, the door is open, and all your belongings are basically on display, "says Phil. "While the entire surrounding area wouldn't know that your door is open, anyone walking by can easily tell that no one is home, and your door is open." That scenario depicts RDP.

"Now take this same house and put it in a gated community with a guard, shut the door, and lock the gate," continues Phil. "The security guard is checking visitation permissions, no one outside the gate can see your house and its belongings, whether or not you are home, and you can invite a particular person in, but you do not have an open invitation for anyone else to peek in."

That's how you should visualize Splashtop next-gen remote access software and how it is fundamentally safer and better than RDP and VPN.
