Is Remote Desktop Services safe?

Question

I am wondering. Are the same security hardening procedures as Exchange being applied to Remote Desktop Services?

I don't find a healthchecker for RDS, is there one perhaps?

Answer 1

Hi JustAnotherUser
Take my opinion for what it is, but hackers are always looking for rdp open ports.
You should never expose RDP to anywhere public.
If you’re using rdp in Azure you should use JIT, Bastions and PIM whenever possible.
The catch being those are all E5 or E3+Security features.
Hope that helps!

Answer 2

RDP services do not expose RDP ports, thank you. RDP services supply gateway services for published apps and RDP through SSL.
