TSplus Asserts its Branding to Stand Out as a Provider of Remote Access Solutions

In November 2019, TSplus announced the integration of its line of companion tools under a common brand identity, “TSplus”, to better reflect the company’s identity.   

Since then, many actions have been taken to reinforce TSplus brand recognition. Today, a new step has been made with a graphical alignment of all solutions, add-ons and new software to come. This is illustrated by modernized logos, icons and an overall updated way the range of products is presented and promoted.   

“TSplus” which was originally the short for “Terminal Service Plus” and was designating the first and star-software of the developer, will henceforth be used as the main brand linking all derivative and related products under a common name, with a strong identity. It will therefore express the idea of an ecosystem of related solutions for remote access and network management. The history and long presence of the brand on the market for remote desktop and applications delivery solutions gives it a reliable character as well as a credibility on which the developer relies to promote the rest of its range.  

This change coincides with the forthcoming introduction of a new product, “TSplus Remote Support“.  

In this spirit, the branding of all products has been updated to clearly reflect their offer and positioning: 

1. The Remote Access category of solutions comprises:
   • TSplus “original” software which becomes “TSplus Remote Access” 
   • TSplus Virtual Printer
   • TSplus Remote Work
2. The Network Security category of solutions comprises: 
   • TSplus Advanced Security 
   • TSplus 2FA
3. The Network Administration category of solutions comprises:
   • TSplus Server Genius 
   • TSplus Remote Support (coming soon)

TSplus Branding Identifies a Comprehensive Solution for Network Administrators

No matter the network infrastructure, the number of users, the location or the budget, TSplus has a solution which can fit and be deployed the most optimized way.  

Except for TSplus Remote Work, which offers a simple alternative to complex remote access solution to set up a full remote office in no time, all the TSplus solutions can also be purchased and used as add-ons to enhance TSplus Remote Access software. TSplus Enterprise PLUS edition, gathering all the great TSplus features and products in one attractive and affordable package, was introduced in May 2020. No longer will organizations need to choose between security and management.  

All included in one single setup, the multiple applications automatically integrate into TSplus Administration Tool for an easy and centralized management. It is the ultimate remote access solution for Windows, Mac, or Linux. 

The branding may change, but the commitment to cost-effective, user-friendly and secure software solutions remains, and the technology upon which TSplus products are built will continue to be enhanced and applied to each operating segment. 

Along with this refresh and diversification of the line, the TSplus website has gotten a new look and is now able to deliver a much richer experience to visitors so that customers will more easily find their way in the TSplus universe.

The TSplus web application portal is a great solution for organizations that need to provide their employees with the ability to work from home. It is easy to configure and administrators can customize it according to individual corporate design. But most importantly, this is extremely secure.

TSplus Offers the Best Remote Desktop Security 

Remote desktop security has long been our top priority. Administrators can choose from a wide variety of security enforcement rules options for their users and remote servers. Some examples of tools available: Active Directory, WebCredentials, SSL Certificates, Lockout, etc.

As online threats continue to change and escalate, security experts at TSplus perform exhaustive research to stay ahead of everyday remote desktop threats and prepare for the challenges of the future. Therefore, the dedicated TSplus 2FA and TSplus Advanced Security add-ons have been added to the TSplus product range. We realize that with the COVID-19 crisis, systems are more vulnerable to attacks, that happen more and more frequently..

A More Efficient License Provisioning Tool for TSplus Software Resellers  

The TSplus license portal provides partners with a dedicated space to manage their license portfolio. For each client, TSplus resellers can create a unique Activation Key that will allow them to assign and manage the list of licenses purchased by the client and a number of necessary information, all from one place: 

• The list of licenses per product, including if a Support and Update license has been purchased. 
• The number of users per license  
• The date of purchase and the expiration date for the Support licenses.

It is easy to add, remove, or edit the information in a click. Thanks to a “refresh” button, this information can also be automatically updated to actively monitor license use during a deployment. The portal is intuitive and colorful for the best user experience. 

As part of the recent version 14.50 release, TSplus enhanced the License Portal with two crucial features, so that partners can manage their licenses autonomously –in ways that work best for them. TSplus Partners can now:   

• Generate trial or permanent licenses on demand  
• Download the license file or send it directly to the client. An email template is even suggested!  

These new options, allowing for comprehensive license management from the Portal level, free our Partners from the need of contacting  TSplus technical support. Removing this step from the licensing process enables partners and resellers to better, faster and more adequately respond to their client needs.

The overall look and design of the portal has been further improved to provide better navigation. Thanks to the systematized process, we managed to achieve the goal that has always guided our activities – to make the management of TSplus licenses as simple as possible.

A Comprehensive Network Management Tool for IT Administrators 

Using the Activation Key received in their Order Confirmation, Customers have their own access to the TSplus License Portal too.  

IT specialists and Network Administrators only have to click on the “Activate License” button in the License tab of the Admin Tool and enter the Activation Key to activate each license by themselves, including Support and Add-ons. 

With this single action, Licenses and Support are automatically activated on the specific device associated with a serial number, which greatly facilitates hardware identification.

From their personal space, customers can easily perform several self-service license management tasks such as upgrading or rehosting their licenses to a new server, whenever they wish!  

This makes network management and license audits much easier! 

The upgraded Customer Portal gives another new bit of useful information, which aims to give IT Admins more control over their infrastructure’s evolution – client credits. It is now possible to view the number of users ordered and/or still available per license. And to make the best investment plan and optimize their software budget, Administrators can create and manage a list of resellers and check their order history with each of them: 

TSplus has a dedicated team focused on offering the best possible License Portal and ensuring the highest satisfaction of its customers.

Threats against computer networks are constantly evolving, cybercriminals are still looking for a new and even more cunning ways to break through the protective walls of corporate systems. Therefore, we realize that our flagship server security tool, TSplus Advanced Security must do more than evolve to simply meet these challenges, it must stay ahead of the game.

As the number of employees operate from home as a result of the pandemic increases, so does a surge of attacks targeting Remote Desktop Protocol. To combat this threat even more effectively, TSplus Advanced Security has been enhanced to provide the most efficient anti-ransomware available. This is, of course, not the only notable feature (we also have a Brute-force protection in the arsenal), but in the face of intensified attacks performed by cybercriminals, wanting to take advantage the remote work situation to significantly expand their malicious activities, the systems protecting remote access and coroprate data from ransomware attacks have become the most necessary security tool.

Why the Gobal Shift to the Home Office Is A Boon for Cyber Criminals

TSplus development team is happy to announce more performant and robust Ransomware Protection for companies using Remote Desktop!

Because Remote Desktop solutions such as TSplus give the ability to remotely access Windows servers or workstations, this protocol is widely used in organizations today.

In the face of the COVID-19 pandemic, numerous businesses have had to shift to remote work to maintain business continuity. This made RDP a popular target for cybercriminals. Attacks on RDP began to grow rapidly in the spring of 2020, when more and more organizations were closing their stationary branches and employees were quickly organizing a home office. Cyber criminals quickly took notice. After one year, this trend of intensifying attacks on remote desktops shows no signs of abating.

Ransomware attacks are still a very serious threat. “Ransomware is one of the top threats in cybersecurity,” said John Davis, vice president of public sector at Palo Alto Networks.

As the data indicates, 2020 will be written into the cybersecurity history as the year of the explosion of ransomware infections. Another disturbing trend is the shift from a simple ransomware model to combined attacks, in which scammers obtain data before they encrypt it. In such cases, failure to pay the ransom does not result in the destruction of stolen information, but in publishing it in open sources or selling it at special closed auctions.

Ransomware remains an effective tool in the hands of cybercriminals as many companies are still ill- equipped to deal with the threat and data security emergencies. This prompts many victims to succumb to extortion demands and pay a Bitcoin ransom in the hope of receiving the decryption key needed to restore the functioning of the network. Despite the awareness that such action does not guarantee data recovery, the vast majority of companies that fall victim to ransomware attacks are committed to preventing downtime and the resulting losses.

Due to this lack of proper protection and awareness, Ransomware shows no sign of slowing down and the average ransom paid to cyber criminals by organizations targeted by these attacks has nearly tripled in the last year: ZDnet.com states that this increase was about 171% between 2019 and 2020, affecting many businesses across Europe and North America.

Since phishing emails are still a popular way for cyber criminals to infiltrate networks, experts suggest that workers should be trained to recognize threats. And with the right cybersecurity program, organizations can be sure to keep their data safe.

That’s where TSplus Advanced Security stands out.

Install the Most Advanced Anti-Ransomware for Remote Desktop

To combat the growing number of attacks, as well as effectively tackle the changing nature of existing ransomware, we have improved TSplus Advanced Security. All this to provide you with the most advanced anti-ransomware protection available.

The latest version of TSplus security add-on v5.3 includes important improvements and fixes for the best protection against Ransomware attacks.

With the release of version 5.3 Advanced Security, we took another powerful step towards an advanced security system for remote connections. Version 5.3 offers the best-ever protection against ransomware. Over 3,500 static definitions have been added to the library to protect against these malicious attacks, but that’s not all.

The big news is the massive upgrade to Advanced Security’s Intelligent Analysis Engine.
The Analysis Engine is a behavioral monitor that watches file activity on a server and responds to threats based on how files interact with the system and with each other.

In addition to making the system smarter, we’ve added minor stability and quality-of-life improvements throughout the entirety of our product line.

The Ransomware Protection feature’s engine has been enhanced with over 3,500 additional static detection rules, making it an unbreakable wall and an effective barrier against ransomware, regardless of its nature or operational mode. Behavioral detection has also been greatly improved to ensure that legitimate applications remain allowed for all users. A more efficient driver implementation ensures that a recovery session can always be opened in the event of a system crash!

TSplus Advanced Security Backups and restore corrupted files

TSplus knows that customers are expect the best protection out there. The commitment to development is what keeps TSplus Advanced Security in front threats, instead of just keeping up.

While ransomware has come to the fore in the current cybersecurity landscape, some of the most common attacks against RDP remain brute-force attacks. That is why ZDnet.com also recommends that remote desktop services be protected with strong passwords and multi-factor authentication, as well as security fixes to prevent attackers from exploiting known vulnerabilities.

All these features and more are included in TSplus Advanced Security latest version and the others software from TSplus’ range.

Windows Remote Desktop is a free tool that allows users to connect to a remote machine – computer, server – and to use the graphical interface remotely. Creates an RDP connection between the Windows Terminal Server and the Remote Desktop Client to ensure stable, interoperable communication. The Remote Desktop Protocol is an essential tool that allows you to remotely access your Windows PC and business applications from anywhere. It is an intelligent solution for deploying legacy applications to multiple devices.

Cloud computing can be easier to use and better to apply for remote workforces, but many companies have not migrated into the cloud, or even may not for regulatory or security factors. With Windows Terminal Services, users can simply use files and software stored locally on their remote computer.
