SandBlast Agent is the First Endpoint Security Solution to

Protect Against BlueKeep RDP Vulnerability!

Recently, a security advisory was released for a vulnerability in RDP (Remote Desktop Protocol) affecting multiple Windows Operating Systems prior to 8.1. According to Microsoft’s advisory https://portal.msrc.microsoft.com/en-US/security-guidance/advisory/CVE-2019-0708, this vulnerability can be exploited for both remote code execution and denial of service attacks. All this without needing the credentials of the target machine.

Check Point’s SandBlast Agent Anti-Exploit now monitors the RDP service for both Windows 7 and Windows 2008R2 and is able to prevent this attack from occurring. Not only ןד SandBlast Agent able to prevent the exploit from being delivered on unpatched systems, but it is also able to prevent the exploit from being delivered to the previously vulnerable driver in patched systems.
