G/On makes Terminal Services more secure, more mobile and less expensive.

The security features included with Windows® Terminal Services are limited to the RDP client connecting and authenticating to a Terminal Server via SSL. This means the RDP client on the PC is vulnerable to attack. There is no strong user authentication mechanism. There is no protection against malware installed on the PC. Users aren’t safeguarded against phishing attacks. There is no protection against “man-in-the-middle” and replay attacks. And there is no way for controlling network access.

Using G/On together with Microsoft Terminal Services solves these problems:

• It features 2-way authentication - the G/On client is tied to unique identifiers on the hardware on which it is installed (making it “something you have”) and your username and password is “something you know”.
• Mutual client/server authentication safeguards users against phishing attacks
• G/On creates a nodeless connection that is “locked to process” – a unique G/On feature that prevents malware from taking over the connection.
• All data is encrypted using 256-bit AES and checksums are used to ensure data hasn’t been tampered with.
• Only one port on the firewall needs to be opened

Further, choosing G/On USB to secure users’ access to Terminal Services means they can connect from any Windows 2000, XP and Vista PC without having to download, install or configure anything.
