What is Microsoft RD Gateway?

Microsoft RD (Remote Desktop) Gateway is a secure way to connect to a remote desktop or remote application over the internet. It acts as an intermediary between your device and the remote desktop server, providing a secure encrypted tunnel for the remote desktop traffic. RD Gateway allows remote access to internal network resources (like servers and workstations) from outside the corporate network, such as when you are working from home or on the go.

Why Monitor Microsoft RD Gateway?

RD Gateway provides access to your internal network, making it a potential target for cyber attacks. If vulnerabilities are discovered in the RD Gateway software or the underlying infrastructure, continuous monitoring can identify potential exploitation attempts, enabling you to patch systems before attackers can exploit them. For this purpose, eG Enterprise offers a specialized Microsoft RD Gateway monitoring model.
