Best Practices to Strengthen Your Remote Support Security Posture

To maximize the effectiveness and security of your Remote Support deployment, we recommend the following practices. These are aligned with our broader commitment to helping customers secure access at every layer.

1. Keep Your Deployment Up to Date

For on-prem instances, enable “Apply Critical Updates Automatically” in the /appliance interface to simplify patching.
Upgrade to the latest version for access to the newest security improvements.

2. Strengthen Credential Management

Use the BeyondTrust Vault (included with every Remote Support deployment) to support discovery, rotation, and injection of credentials on up to 100k accounts.
Use an external authentication provider (ex. SAML) over local accounts.
Periodically review all active accounts on your appliance(s), especially those with admin privileges.
Deactivate those not in use, and rotate passwords at recurring intervals where possible.

3. Apply Least Privilege Principles

Use group policies and session policies when setting up user roles to enforce least privilege.
Validate your policies and settings are being applied as intended using the Session Policy simulator.

4. Review and Harden Network Configurations

Ensure that you are adhering to the network restriction best practices outlined in our documentation to prevent unauthorized access.
Integrate with a SIEM using one of our various middleware for session data, and regularly review to monitor changes and detect anomalies and suspicious activity.
Use outbound events to trigger alerts or log session activity in real-time.
Configure syslog to send all configuration changes and authentication events to your SIEM.

Conclusion

In summary, at BeyondTrust, we believe security is not a one-time feature—it’s a continuous commitment. With Remote Support 25.1, we’re delivering meaningful improvements that reflect this mindset, strengthening the foundation for secure, stable, and high-performing remote support. Whether you’re a long-time customer or evaluating your remote support strategy, this release is designed to help your teams operate with greater confidence and resilience.

We encourage all customers—especially those managing on-prem deployments—to update to the latest version and take advantage of the best practices outlined above to further fortify your environment.
