Security and privacy

Your security is one of SysAid’s top priorities when using our remote support software. Therefore, the remote control service is not running all the time, waiting for sessions. Only when the SysAid Agent identifies a remote support or control request, it initiates the remote support software and remote connection to the authorized requestor (and within a fully-encrypted session).

• Built-in authentication methods protect against attacks.
• All communication is encrypted between the host and 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 admins who need to perform remote control within SysAid.
