Protect Windows servers from RDP zero-day vulnerabilities (BlueKeep CVE-2019-0708, DejaBlue, CVE-2024-38077) with OnePAM's gateway RDP proxy. No unauthenticated RDP traffic reaches your servers.
Eliminate RDP Zero-Day Exploitation with Identity-Based Access
Remote Desktop Protocol (RDP) is the most exploited remote access protocol in enterprise environments. Critical zero-day vulnerabilities like BlueKeep (CVE-2019-0708), DejaBlue (CVE-2019-1181/1182), and the Windows Licensing Service RCE (CVE-2024-38077) enable remote code execution against Windows servers — often without any authentication. Ransomware groups, nation-state actors, and automated exploit kits use RDP as their primary initial access vector. The fundamental problem is architectural: RDP exposes a complex protocol parser to the network, and every parsing bug becomes a pre-auth RCE. Patching helps, but zero-days by definition are exploited before patches exist. The only durable solution is to ensure that no unauthenticated RDP traffic ever reaches your servers. OnePAM's gateway RDP proxy provides exactly this. By placing a OnePAM gateway in front of your Windows servers and network-isolating the RDP ports, you create an identity-verification layer that attackers cannot bypass.
Gateway RDP Proxy
Run a dedicated OnePAM gateway with native RDP protocol support. Users authenticate via SAML/OIDC at the gateway, which brokers the RDP session using Kerberos NLA. No agent needed on target servers.
The RDP Zero-Day Threat Landscape
Without identity-based RDP access, these risks threaten your Windows servers every day.
RDP Security Challenges
These are the risks organizations face with traditional RDP authentication.
Zero-Day by Definition
Zero-days are exploited before patches exist. No amount of patching eliminates the risk of the next undiscovered RDP vulnerability.
Complex Protocol Surface
RDP is a complex protocol with dozens of channels, codecs, and extensions. Every component is a potential attack surface for pre-auth exploitation.
Slow Enterprise Patching
Enterprise patch cycles for Windows servers take weeks or months. During this window, every unpatched server is vulnerable to known exploits.
Network Exposure
Many organizations expose RDP directly to the internet or broadly within the corporate network. Any exposed RDP port is a target.
NLA Is Not Enough
Network Level Authentication (NLA) requires credentials but doesn't prevent all pre-auth attacks. Some CVEs target the NLA negotiation itself.
VPN Doesn't Solve It
VPN provides network access, but a compromised VPN endpoint can still exploit RDP zero-days on internal servers. Identity-based access is required.
How OnePAM Prevents RDP Zero-Day Exploitation
Step-by-step guide to deploying identity-based Windows RDP access.
Deploy OnePAM Gateway
Deploy a OnePAM gateway as the exclusive entry point for RDP access to your Windows server fleet.
Network-Isolate All RDP Ports
Configure firewall rules so Windows server RDP ports (3389) are only reachable from the OnePAM gateway.
Require Identity Verification
Every RDP connection requires SAML/OIDC authentication via your corporate IdP with MFA enforcement.
Inspect and Proxy RDP Traffic
OnePAM inspects RDP protocol traffic before forwarding to the target server, filtering malformed requests.
Record and Audit Everything
Every RDP session is visually recorded with full identity context for forensics and compliance.
Why Gateway-Based RDP Protection Works
Measurable security and operational outcomes from deploying OnePAM Windows RDP SSO.
Exploit Delivery Impossible
RDP ports are network-isolated. Exploit payloads — BlueKeep, DejaBlue, or future zero-days — physically cannot reach the RDP service.
100% exploit delivery preventedPatch on Your Schedule
When a new RDP CVE drops, you're not in emergency mode. OnePAM shields servers while you test and deploy patches at your pace.
No more emergency patchingEliminate RDP Brute-Force
No RDP login interface is exposed. Brute-force tools have nothing to target.
Zero brute-force surfaceWorks for Any Windows Version
Gateway mode protects Server 2008 R2, 2012, 2016, 2019, and 2022 equally. One solution for your entire Windows fleet.
All Windows versions protectedSession Recording for IR
If a breach occurs, session recordings provide complete forensic evidence of all RDP activity.
Forensic-ready recordingsCompliance Compensating Control
PCI DSS, SOC 2, HIPAA, and ISO 27001 accept gateway-based access controls as compensating controls for RDP risk.
