  ON SECURITY

  

  By Susan Bradley

  One of the most used technologies in the Windows world is more than likely the most abused.

  Remote Desktop is one of the oldest ways to get from one machine to another, but it’s also one that relies on older technologies that Microsoft is trying to phase out. Add to that the interaction of Entra ID accounts (in the case of cloud technologies) and Microsoft accounts and firewalls, and it can be a bit confusing to set up.

  In spite of all that, the Remote Desktop Protocol (RDP) is a technology that many of us use and rely upon.

  So, here’s additional information and a step-by-step guide to get you up and running with Chrome Remote Desktop!

  REMOTE ACCESS

  By Lance Whitney

  There are plenty of apps for connecting two devices. Google’s Chrome Remote Desktop offers a simple, free, and no-frills approach to remote access.

  As you might expect, Chrome Remote Desktop (CRD) is cross-platform; there are versions for Windows, Mac, and Linux. You can also connect to a “host” system from an iPhone, iPad, or Android device via mobile apps. Use the app to remotely access your home or work machine, or to provide someone else with support and/or troubleshooting help.
