In light of the recent security incident announced by AnyDesk, RealVNC understands that our users may have concerns about the security of other remote access products, including RealVNC products. We would like to reassure all RealVNC users that our software and systems are secure and RealVNC Connect is designed from the ground up to be secure, as demonstrated in our fundamental security principles on https://www.realvnc.com/en/connect/security/ 

As a leader in remote access solutions, RealVNC holds steadfast to a commitment to unwavering data protection, and we have invested heavily into a robust security posture to protect all of our users.”

Our adherence to strict security protocols is demonstrated through RealVNC’s ISO27001 certification, highlighting a proactive and robust data protection strategy. This certification guarantees our continuous engagement in comprehensive risk assessment and employment of advanced security controls.

The cornerstone of RealVNC’s defence is founded on established security principles, ensuring high-trust services without the need for users to place their confidence in the organization but in the software itself. Our secure data infrastructure means that sessions cannot be decrypted, and we have never made or stored recordings. We operate under the assumption of a hostile environment, allowing users complete connection control and autonomy. We also always maintain a posture of transparency, with our Trust Center providing active and up-to-date information.

The acquisition will enable the secure remote access provider to branch out beyond graphical screen sharing and into remote management.

CAMBRIDGE, England (Oct. 24, 2022) RealVNC, the most secure remote access solution on the market, acquired RPort, a remote management software that immediately boosts the efficiency of IT teams and Managed Service Providers (MSPs). The acquisition will enable RealVNC to branch out beyond graphical screen sharing and into remote management.

RPort enables users to manage their entire infrastructure via a web browser, the command line, or programmatically through a REST API. This includes inventory management, dynamic device grouping, remote and scheduled script execution, device telemetry and flexible connectivity management. For example, a bulk update task targeted at 20 Windows devices could take up to 2 hours when executed individually in interactive screen sharing sessions. The same task could be achieved with RPort technology in less than 2 minutes.

The technology is highly complementary to RealVNC’s VNC Connect and will be integrated as an add-on for existing RealVNC subscribers in early 2023. It will also be provided as a standalone subscription under RealVNC’s brand. RealVNC will support flexible deployment options, similar to its current offering with VNC Connect, launching with both on-premise and fully-managed/hosted offerings.

With this acquisition, RealVNC will soon offer a comprehensive IoT device management platform to their customers. One of the largest challenges IT and field service professionals face is managing large fleets of devices deployed across the globe. When combined with RPort technology, RealVNC will help them master the unique challenges that arise in these environments — for example when a user managing thousands of devices needs to execute a remote script on all of them programmatically without logging into each device.

“We are excited about the immense opportunities that RPort brings to RealVNC and its customers,” said Adam Greenwood-Byrne, CEO of RealVNC. “There are some really exciting plans in the works thanks to RPort’s technology and we cannot wait to bring them to market in the early part of 2023.”

RealVNC also announced that RPort’s creator & innovator, Thorsten Kramm, will be joining the team full-time as VP Software Incubator and will be responsible for leading the company’s IoT program.

“I am thrilled to be joining a team so focused on the future of efficient remote management of all kinds of devices. The exponentially increasing numbers of connected devices demand new methods of management beyond access via interactive, one-to-one screen sharing,” said Thorsten Kramm.

RPort is currently open source, and RealVNC is committing to continue to pursue an open-core approach. RealVNC will offer more advanced features as paid “plugins” added to the foundational RPort engine, which will remain open source. Current RPort users can expect updates to the open source core along with options to extend it into a commercial product, all with the level of professional technical support that RealVNC has become known for.

ABOUT REALVNC
RealVNC’s secure remote access and management software is used by hundreds of millions of people worldwide. Their software helps organizations to cut costs and improve the experience when supporting remote devices and applications, as well as enabling a generation of remote workers. RealVNC is the UK-based, original inventor of VNC remote access software and the associated RFB protocol, and they support an unrivalled mix of desktop, mobile, and embedded platforms.

ABOUT RPORT
RPort is an open-source remote access and remote management solution that facilitates the management of remote servers without the hassle of VPNs, chained SSH connections, jump-hosts, or the use of commercial tools like TeamViewer and its clones. RPort is a server/client architecture that establishes permanent or on-demand secure tunnels to devices inside protected intranets behind a strong firewall. All operating systems provide well-established mechanisms for remote management – the most widely used being SSH and Remote Desktop. RPort secures them and makes them more easily accessible from the outside.

The technology also provides efficient remote management through command execution, task scheduling, scripting and device monitoring. All actions can be performed from a web browser, and on many machines in parallel without any interactive logins.

Cure53 security audit finds the VNC Connect Remote Access service to be strong and stable regarding security posture

CAMBRIDGE, England–(BUSINESS WIRE)–VNC Connect by RealVNC, the remote access service used by hundreds of millions of people worldwide, was audited by Cure53, the Berlin, Germany-based IT security consultancy who have also audited other industry leading software such as Mozilla VPN, 1Password and Bitwarden. The comprehensive audit, which took 86 person days and included VNC Server and VNC Viewer on Linux, Windows and Mac, VNC Viewer for iOS and Android, the VNC Connect management portal and backend services, found 38 security-relevant discoveries, none of which were critical and only three were deemed high severity, and these were fixed immediately. The report states, in conclusion, that RealVNC places a strong focus on the security posture of all its components.

“As the technologists responsible for bringing remote access to the mass market, we are today setting new standards and expectations for security in the face of the challenges of the modern IT environment. IT buyers of remote access technologies should expect no less than independent and comprehensive third-party validation of vendor claims. This is especially true for remote access software where the stakes are high, and a mistake could be reputationally damaging or even existential. With Cure53’s report, buyers can be confident that choosing RealVNC as their remote access vendor will never be a regret,” said Adam Greenwood-Byrne, CEO of RealVNC.

A white box security audit is significantly more in-depth than the more common black box penetration test (which RealVNC also commissions by an external organization annually), as the auditors have access to all of the source code, binaries and API/protocol documentation. Of the 38 vulnerabilities found across the range of software and services tested, 32 have been properly addressed — with the fixes confirmed by Cure53 — while the other six were flagged as either false-alerts or works-as-intended and evaluated to be of lower risk.

“At RealVNC, we operate from the standpoint that no company should ever take a vendor’s word for it when they claim their software is secure, which is why we chose to complete a white box audit with a highly regarded security consultancy to prove it,” said Andrew Woodhouse, CIO of RealVNC.

The Cure53 team is highly motivated to find issues when completing white box penetration tests. The fact that no critical threats were found reinforces RealVNC’s focus on ensuring its customers remain safe from threats when using VNC Connect.

“Cure53 is happy to state that test preparation, test execution and also the fix verification, which is one of the most important parts of such an audit, went smoothly and professionally. It is clear that RealVNC has demonstrated a genuine interest in ensuring VNC Connect’s security and is prepared and committed to maintaining the high standards we have observed,” said Dr.-Ing. Mario Heiderich, Founder of Cure53.

Headquartered in Cambridge, RealVNC’s products for desktop, mobile and embedded platforms make it easy for users to access and operate devices remotely while enabling remote users to work with technicians to resolve problems easily.

“We’re not shying away from any of the issues the report found. We actively fixed issues as they came up and, as security is an ever changing landscape, we’ll continue to ensure the security of VNC Connect in future iterations of the service,” said Ben May, Head of Cyber Security at RealVNC.

Since Cure53 was founded in 2007, we have performed hundreds of penetration tests against all kinds of web applications, online services, hardware interfaces, mobile applications, libraries and crypto tools. We value manual and thorough tests, human interaction and communication and a short yet-to-the-point penetration test report without overhead or pie charts no one wants to see.

RealVNC is 1 of 10 companies selected to participate in programme aimed at building a safer digital future

CAMBRIDGE, England (June 2, 2022) RealVNC, a secure remote access software solution used by hundreds of millions of people worldwide, has been chosen to experiment with potentially game-changing prototype cybersecurity technology through Digital Catapult’s “Digital Security by Design Technology Access Programme” in an effort to help build a safer digital future.

The technology was co-developed by University of Cambridge researchers (with colleagues at SRI International) in collaboration with Arm. The Cambridge-SRI research team has redesigned the architecture of a computer’s central processing unit – its brain – to make it less vulnerable to security breaches. This new architecture is called CHERI.

CHERI is being tested by RealVNC and nine other companies in the programme and has the potential to stop around two thirds of hacks, cyber attacks and data breaches, if implemented.

“We know how important security is to the future success of technology. That’s why we’re thrilled to help Digital Catapult ensure next-generation technologies are safe from security threats,” said RealVNC CEO Adam Greenwood-Byrne.

For six months RealVNC will have access to the CHERI-enabled Morello prototype board — a system on chip and demonstrator board that contains the prototype architecture CHERI — technical guides and support. RealVNC will test and evaluate these technologies within its own business and provide its findings back to the programme, which could influence the design of future and more secure computer systems.

The Technology Access Programme is part of Digital Security by Design: an initiative supported by the UK government to transform digital technology and create a more resilient, and secure foundation for a safer future. Digital Security by Design is supported by a consortium of world-leading technology industry partners, academics and research institutions, including Arm, University of Cambridge, Google, Thales, University of Edinburgh, Hewlett Packard, University of Oxford, Innovate UK, Microsoft, University of Manchester, Linaro, Kings College London and the National Cyber Security Centre (NCSC).

RealVNC and the other participating companies will have access to the technologies as well as up to £15,000 in funding to support their experimentation period.

Participating companies – based right across the UK, from Oldbury to Belfast – include: RealVNC, Ampliphae, Chevin Technology, DataCore Software, Inventia, Ioetec, Praeferre, Riskoa, SensorIT, and Trèsbian.

15th December 2020 — Technicolor Connected Home and RealVNC announce today a joint initiative to enhance the ability of Network Service Providers (NSPs) to improve remote customer care for the surge in Android TV devices that are being deployed around the world. 

The Connect TV solution from RealVNC allows NSP Customer Service Representatives (CSRs) and installation engineers to remotely view and control Android TV Customer Premises Equipment (CPE) at home or work, securely and in real-time. Technicolor Connected Home has shipped more Android TV Set-Top Box (STB) devices than any other CPE manufacturer for the NSP market. Connect TV greatly improves call-handling efficiencies and elevates customer satisfaction by enabling comprehensive remote support of Android TV devices.

This is the latest development in Technicolor Connected Home’s ongoing commitment to leverage open and innovative technologies for Network Service Providers (NSPs) around the World, with the ultimate goal to help them deliver seamless connectivity and premium entertainment experiences to consumers. This is achieved by creating best-in-class CPE and partnering with the most innovative companies in the connected home ecosystem.

“The ability to have a complete picture of what customers are seeing, along with real-time access to diagnostic data about Customer Premises Equipment (CPE) deployed by NSPs into subscribers’ homes streamlines the troubleshooting process. It is far superior to the often frustrating process of having customer service representatives speak to customers on the telephone to resolve issues that are difficult to describe,” said Girish Naganathan, CTO at Technicolor Connected Home. “This will be important for NSPs that are deploying new feature-rich Android TV CPE, with its advanced UI and multiple applications. CSRs will be in a much better position to educate customers and resolve technical issues with Connect TV. It will reduce truck rolls and device returns while improving customer satisfaction.”

RealVNC’s participation in Technicolor Connected Home’s HERO Partner Program enriches the CPE portfolio and introduces an important new value proposition for NSPs by enabling the easily deployed support of millions of devices and customers across all continents and network connection types. At the same time, RealVNC will benefit from Technicolor Connected Home’s leadership position in the Android TV CPE market and its broad set of trusted relationships with NSPs around the world.

“COVID-19 has given NSPs new reasons to support subscribers remotely,” said Adam Greenwood-Byrne, CEO at RealVNC. “Installation engineers can provide touchless service by no longer entering customer premises, yet still offer comprehensive help by using Connect TV. By partnering with Technicolor, we can accelerate our time to market and reduce the integration time to reach new customers.”
