DUALShield 2FA for Windows logon Terminal Services and RDP

DualShield for Windows Desktop helps enterprise customers ensure that workstation and network resources are accessible only by authorised users, whether working locally inside the firewall or remotely via remote desktop.

Once fully implemented and enforced, only users who have been issued a two-factor authentication token will be able to gain access to the protected Windows desktop and network resources.

Key Features:

Easy to Integrate

DualShield for Windows Desktop can be easily integrated into the customer’s existing Windows network infrastructure without the requirement of any modification. The entire process of installation and integration can be completed within just hours instead of days.

Staged Migration

DualShield for Windows Desktop supports the concurrent use of both Windows AD password authentication and strong two-factor authentication for different users within the domain. The requirement for multi-factor authentication is controlled by a set of polices which can be applied to users, AD groups and OUs. This enables a staged, non-interruptive migration of users to strong authentication when convenient & appropriate.

Native AD integration

DualShield delivers true native LDAP support for direct integration with Active Directory servers. Native AD support does not require change to the database schema, does not require import from the database and does not require synchronization. Any changes made to the Active Directory are immediately effective in DualShield in real time.

Flexible Policies

DualShield provides a set of authentication and access control policies that enable granular administrative access control down to a user, machine, group or unit. For instance, in a circumstance where a user or machine needs to be exempted from two-factor authentication, the network administrator can put the user or machine in the exception list.

Windows Versions Supported

DualShield for Windows Desktop supports all versions of Windows (32 and 64bit), including Windows XP, Vista, Windows 7, Windows 2003 and Windows 2008.
