RdpGuard IP Cloud - the new way to block distributed brute-force attacks from a botnet. Preemptive and proactive brute-force protection.

RdpGuard IP Cloud Overview

RdpGuard IP Cloud is a new service by RdpGuard designed to help you protect Windows machines in a more pre-emptive and pro-active way.

Instead of waiting until attackers may even reach your server and perform a number of failed login attempts, you may receive their IP addresses from IP Cloud and block them before they even find your server.

Why do you need it

While many tools can easily detect brute-force attacks from the single IP addresses, this approach may not work in case of distributed attacks from the botnets, when each host controlled by the intruder performs a small number of failed login attempts at low frequency, allowing them to avoid blocking.

Some botnets may contain hundreds of thousands infected hosts, allowing cyber criminals to perform massive brute-force attacks without disclosure.

How does it work

The solution is to use the centralized method of detecting brute-force attempts - each IP Cloud participant sends information about failed login attempts to the IP Cloud server, where it is possible to detect infected hosts by aggregating results from many other reporters.

Failed login attempts are collected and aggregated on the IP Cloud server

"This sotware is really great. It's a relief. Because my server is constantly under attack. Thanks RdpGuard" - Joaquim De Sousa Marques

"Nice product. I used to implement something similiar in a low-tech and cumbersome manner via a script called TSBlock (not mine). This makes it much easier and is well worth the pricetag for SMB's." - J. Johnson

"Absolutely amazed at your product. We are a church in the North Dallas area, and I discovered this morning multiple failed logon attempts via our Remote Access Server. A friend suggested your product, so I immediately downloaded the trial. It had a list of about five blocked IP addresses in minutes, and that was enough to lead me to push the BUY button. Over the past 10-15 minutes the list is now about thirty with at least a third being international attempts to break into our system. Thanks for a great product. You may have just saved us much grief." - John Hallford

"Love the software. RDP on our Windows servers is just ridiculous. We would block it in the router but we have lots of old-time customers that would have issues." - Scott Hirsch

"Love the software! Makes it easier than tailoring VB Scripts!!" - Nick Brennan

"It's a great product - really stopping those RDP attackers :-)" - Dave, UK

"First of all: Your application is very (!!!) useful and I like it very much securing my 2012 R2 server. RdpGuard is the best solution, I found on the market and after 10 minutes of testing it I ordered the fully-featured version. :-)" - Carsten Baltes
