Preventing remote access scam and remote desktop takeover
How to avoid a remote access scam?
Remote Desktop Detection identifies the presence of remote desktop software at the user-end while using the online service. This innovative solution is a response to the growing popularity of the remote desktop attacks method and social engineering attacks among cybercriminals. Remote Desktop Detection allows to detect unauthorized device takeover and determines session security. It helps protect online service users against account takeover (ATO), identity theft, and remote access fraud. The solution also verifies whether the individual is using a device in an authorized location, which proves highly beneficial for online services that must adhere to legal restrictions preventing access from unauthorized locations.
Remote Desktop Detection has two main mechanisms: active and passive, which work together to detect multiple anomalies and deliver remote desktop detection efficiency.
Active detection analyses device configuration and provides real-time diagnostics. It recognizes many commonly used desktop sharing applications and determines which application is in use at the time.
Passive detection is a real-time analysis of activity during session that allows detecting the moment when a hacker takes control of the device.

How does Remote Desktop Detection work?
When a hacker obtains access to a user's device, he can take active control over it and access confidential data, banking details, or other services, thus account takeover (ATO).
Remote Desktop Detection continuously provides the security of the online session. It monitors and identifies anomalies in user activity in real-time that can indicate possible fraudulent usage of an account. In case of detecting remote desktop takeover, it is immediately alerted as e-mails to indicated recipients on the client's side. Detected anomalies are easy to interconnect with any cyberdefence mechanisms related to the organization.
