Leverage the power of Active Directory with Multi-Factor Authentication to enforce high security protection of your business resources.
For your end-users connecting to their desktops and applications, the experience is similar to what they already face as they perform a second authentication measure to connect to the desired resource:
- Launch a desktop or RemoteApp from an RDP file or through a Remote Desktop client application.
- Upon connecting to the RD Gateway for secure, remote access, receive a mobile application MFA challenge.
- Correctly authenticate and get connected to their resource!
