What is remote desktop protocol?
Remote Desktop Protocol (RDP) is a technology that makes it easy for users to access and control a computer or virtual desktop remotely over a network connection. This allows users to interact with a desktop or application as if they were present and sitting in front of it.
With RDP, a user can log into a computer, run programs, access files, and work on various tasks as if they were physically present at the specific machine. This is done by transmitting graphical user interface (GUI) data, mouse movements, and keyboard strokes between the local and remote computers.
This technology is commonly used for remote technical support, telecommuting, and system administration so that individuals can have access to their work computers and all important files from home or when traveling. It often incorporates cloud DDoS mitigation software so that access to these files is secure and protected against DDoS attacks. These tools also ensure that critical systems remain accessible and operational, even in the face of malicious traffic floods targeting the network.
