2X SecureRDP for Windows Terminal Services Listing updated: October 28, 2005

2X SecureRDP for Windows Terminal Services increases the security of your terminal servers by accepting or denying incoming RDP connections by IP, Mac address, computer name, client version or based on time of day. This way the logon screen will only be displayed if the connection is established from particular IPs or from particular machines. Computers that do not meet the filter restrictions don't get to see the logon screen and won't get to try a brute force logon! 2X SecureRDP for Windows Terminal Services is a tool to secure remote windows web servers which you are managing via Terminal services - Remote administration.

2X SecureRDP for Windows Terminal Services works with Windows 2000 or Windows 2003 Terminal Services and does not require a client component. Servers running either in Remote Administration or Application Server mode are supported.

2X LoadBalancer for Terminal Services / Citrix Listing updated: September 27, 2007

Since Microsoft Terminal Services Servers support many users, it's important to ensure that each Terminal Server is fully redundant and that the load is distributed between servers ensuring optimal service quality for users. 2X LoadBalancer for Terminal Services / Citrix allows you to load balance RDP/ICA sessions between Terminal Servers and provide fault tolerance. In addition, if you are allowing users to login from the internet, you can hide the backend terminal services from the internet and just expose one single gateway machine - thereby increasing security of your Terminal Servers.

Block-IT Listing updated: October 17, 2005

Block-IT (Application Access Control) ensures that no user can ever gain access to unauthorized (local- or network-resident) program executables regardless of their security privileges or file system rights. Using its built-in hashing algorithm, Block-IT guards against application spoofing by verifying the authenticity of each authorized application at launch time. Multiple hashes per application are allowed in a multi-server farm in order to support the piece-meal update or upgrade of a given application or O/S.

Block-IT also features a scheduler to ensure that users can only execute authorized applications within a specified schedule (time-of-day and days-of-week.) Shortly before terminating a schedule-bound application, Block-IT notifies the user of the impending termination, thus giving them the opportunity to exit the application. Finally, it terminates the running application when the ending time is reached.

AppSense Application Manager Listing updated: September 15, 2005

AppSense Application Manager provides control over many other types of application content, including ActiveX, Screen Savers, VBScripts, Batch files, Windows Installer packages and Registry configuration files. Self-extracting zip archives are safely extracted using the built-in Zip Extractor.

Another common area of concern for Administrators is licensing and controlling which applications users have access to. AppSense Application Manager can limit the users or groups of users who have permission to run applications and limits can be placed on the number of application instances running, the timing of when users run a program and for how long.
