Here in the blog I had published some articles about security incidents and license issues of two providers of remote maintenance software. Some time ago I came into contact with ISL Online, a pioneer in the remote desktop industry since 2001, which has become a trusted solution for secure remote access for large German companies such as Konica Minolta, Deutsche Bahn and Thyssenkrupp as well as global giants such as Canon, Avast, Mitsubishi Chemicals and Suzuki. But what sets ISL Online apart from its competitors?
Robust security measures
Security is mandatory when it comes to remote desktop software, especially in industries that require stringent safeguards, such as healthcare, finance and government. ISL Online goes beyond industry standards and uses advanced encryption protocols, including RSA 2048/4096-bit key exchange and AES 256-bit encryption, to ensure that data remains secure during transmission. In addition, the platform supports two-factor authentication (2FA) and uses code signing to verify the integrity of applications.
ISL Online's security concept is further strengthened by the ISO/IEC 27001:2022 certification (globally recognized standard for information security management). This certification, combined with HIPAA compliance, makes ISL Online a trusted choice for organizations that need to meet strict regulatory requirements.
In addition, ISL Online offers both cloud and on-premise solutions, with the option to use managed or self-managed on-premise servers. This provides an additional layer of security, allowing companies to integrate the servers into their own security structures.

Outstanding support and user-friendly software
ISL Online is praised for its intuitive interface, which makes it easy for IT teams to deploy and use the software efficiently. On Capterra, users consistently highlight the software's ease of use and reliable performance, noting that it significantly reduces the usual frustrations associated with remote desktop tools. One user mentioned that the simple pricing and good customer support make ISL Online particularly appealing to small and medium-sized businesses and emphasized the importance of responsive support when problems arise.

Customization and transparency
ISL Online offers extensive customization options that allow companies to adapt the software to their specific security requirements and internal policies. They can restrict and disable selected features within a session, such as control over the remote computer, file transfer or desktop sharing on the operator's side. One Reddit user described his positive experience with ISL Online and particularly praised the flexible customization of the platform and the transparent pricing model, which has no hidden fees. He found ISL Online's user interface more intuitive and its performance better than the competition, which reinforced his decision to switch from TeamViewer to ISL Online.

Answers to industrial challenges
In an industry where security breaches can have serious consequences, ISL Online is proactively responding to vulnerabilities. Recent incidents involving some of the leading remote desktop software providers have highlighted the risks associated with remote desktop tools.
ISL Online mitigates these risks with advanced security measures such as AES 256-bit encryption, two-factor authentication, single sign-on (SSO), port filtering, feature transparency that does not allow stealth mode, and brute force protection. In addition, ISL Online complies with the latest ISO 27001 standards, providing a comprehensive security framework.
ISL Online Security Scheme
To eliminate vulnerabilities associated with RDP (Remote Desktop Protocol), ISL Online offers two secure connection options:
- Direct connections as an alternative to RDP: This feature enables the direct exchange of data between two computers in the local network and avoids routing via remote servers. This not only improves the speed, which is comparable to that of RDP, but also increases security through end-to-end AES 256-bit encryption.
- Forwarding the RDP connection via ISL Online: For environments that require RDP, ISL Online provides a secure tunneled connection that eliminates the need for VPN tunneling or firewall changes. This method reduces the risk of external RDP attacks by protecting the session through ISL Online's secure tunnel.
These options provide organizations with the flexibility to choose the most appropriate security solution for their specific needs and ensure robust protection in various scenarios. Read more in the ISL blog post Fortifying Remote Connections: How ISL Online Addresses RDP Vulnerabilities and Risks.

Choosing the right remote desktop software is critical to the security, efficiency and reliability of your business operations. ISL Online's years of experience, robust security measures and commitment to ease of use and transparency make it a standout choice in the industry. With easy-to-use features, responsive support and options such as direct connections and secure RDP routing, ISL Online provides the flexibility and protection to meet the diverse needs of organizations across multiple industries.
