Security and Privacy
Your security is one of SysAid’s top priorities when using our remote support software. The remote control software does not run continuously between sessions. It is initiated only when a remote support or control request is identified by a SysAid agent, and then the connection to the authorized requestor is made (and within a fully encrypted session).
- Built-in authentication methods protect against attacks.
- All communication is encrypted between the host and the local connection.
- No open ports on the end-user side are required.
- All remote control sessions are logged in the asset activity log for auditing.
- You can control and manage the permissions of the agents who need to perform remote control within SysAid.
