Atsign, a leader in pre-emptive security solutions and infrastructure, announced its groundbreaking approach to remote access with “Invisible RDP,” powered by its innovative NoPorts technology. With cyber threats targeting vulnerable Remote Desktop Protocol (RDP) services escalating, Atsign offers a paradigm shift in security by rendering RDP servers and other critical infrastructure completely undetectable to external threats.

Traditional remote access methods rely on open inbound ports, creating a visible pathway for malicious actors to discover and target systems. This fundamental design flaw has been the root cause of countless ransomware attacks and data breaches exploiting RDP vulnerabilities.
Atsign’s NoPorts technology eliminates this inherent risk by closing all inbound ports. Instead of waiting for a connection attempt to initiate security protocols, NoPorts establishes secure, peer-to-peer connections only after successful, out-of-band authentication. This means that RDP servers protected by NoPorts are simply invisible to unauthorized scans and probes – “they can’t attack what they can’t find.”
Key Benefits of Atsign’s Invisible RDP
- Eliminates Attack Surface – By closing all inbound ports, NoPorts removes the primary entry point for RDP-based attacks.
- Pre-Authentication Security – Connection is only established after robust authentication, preventing unauthorized access attempts.
- Unparalleled Stealth – RDP servers become invisible to external scanning and discovery.
- Simplified Security Management: Reduces the complexity and overhead associated with managing open ports and traditional perimeter security.
- Enhanced Resilience: Significantly minimizes the risk of exploitation from both known and zero-day RDP vulnerabilities.
“The persistent threat landscape demands a fundamental change in how we approach remote access security,” said Barbara Tallent, CEO of Atsign. “NoPorts represents that change. By making critical infrastructure components like RDP servers invisible, we are effectively taking them off the map for cybercriminals. This isn’t just about better security; it’s about fundamentally eliminating entire classes of attacks.”
