Calyptix Security Releases AccessEnforcer 5.0 Beta to Add Network Authentication for Microsoft RDP and SSH AccessCHARLOTTE, N.C., Aug. 5, 2020 /PRNewswire/ -- Calyptix Security Corporation, maker of the AccessEnforcer® UTM Firewall, today announced the release of AccessEnforcer 5.0 Beta at CompTIA ChannelCon Online which adds GatekeeperTM and Geo Fence, innovative new features for small business to secure remote access to potentially vulnerable systems and provide a work from home solution that is secure, easy, affordable and reliable. Gatekeeper™
Geo Fence "Our mission remains hardening small business networks to make it harder for malicious cyber actors to attack. Gatekeeper and Geo Fence keep cyber criminals out and let our customers get the remote access they need. If it's not secure, easy and affordable, it won't work for small business," said Ben Yarbrough, CEO, Calyptix Security. Remote Access Faces Increasing Cyberthreats Attacks on Microsoft's Remote Desktop Protocol (RDP) continue to surge while vulnerabilities and poor configuration practices persist. Ongoing series of alerts from the FBI, NSA, and U.S. Homeland Security (DHS) continue to warn that malicious cyber actors are exploiting teleworking infrastructure. Attacks on remote access tools are rising rapidly as teleworking surges with the Covid-19 pandemic. The DHS alert shares recent analysis that exposed RDP endpoints have increased 127%. Experts at Shodan estimate millions of RDP systems are publicly exposed and many of them are vulnerable. The DHS alert confirms, "The increase in RDP use could potentially make IT systems—without the right security measures in place—more vulnerable to attack."
