Enhance remote access security beyond network-level authentication

Network Level Authentication (NLA) is a security feature for Remote Desktop Protocol (RDP) requiring user authentication before a full session. NLA reduces attack surfaces and protects against unauthorized access but has limitations in modern IT environments.

This white paper explores:

· NLA's workings and benefits
· NLA's limitations, including single-protocol focus and Windows-specific configurations
· StrongDM as an alternative, offering:

• Zero Trust framework
• Fine-grained policy enforcement
• Support for all protocols
• Real-time monitoring and auditing
