Security Functions

NetMan Desktop Manager has a number of important features that will help make your Remote Desktop environment more secure. All of these functions can be configured by you if desired. The areas affected include local network security, online security, and secure use of drives both on local clients and in sessions. You can choose which functions you wish to use and which you prefer to disable. The only exception is NetMan's own ticketing process, for preventing unauthorized access to applications on Remote Desktop Session Hosts. This function can be configured, but cannot be disabled.
