This guide highlights the benefits of investing in an enterprise-grade Remote Desktop Solution. Explore how AnyDesk for Enterprises empowers businesses and organizations to increase their efficiency and reach their full potential.

After you purchase an Enterprise-Cloud license, you receive two emails - from my.anydesk I and my.anydesk II. As a license owner, you get to configure your organization, add users to the organization, and grant users access to different features within my.anydesk II.

Only custom clients created from your my.anydesk.com customer portal can connect to each other. Standard AnyDesk clients from our website or custom clients from other customers cannot connect to your AnyDesk clients as only your clients have knowledge of your AnyDesk appliance server.

If the above is still not secure enough, you can also limit who can connect to devices on your internal network using third-party VPN software in combination with the On-Premises custom client. Simply host the AnyDesk appliance server in a DMZ on your network so that it is only accessible from IP-addresses on your network. The VPN would force the connecting endpoint to change their IP-address to one on your network to be able to connect to the appliance server. Without the VPN, custom clients outside your network will not be able to connect or locate your appliance server.

The reason why the Cloud version of AnyDesk requires internet is because the AnyDesk client needs access to our database to determine the location and owner of the AnyDesk client you wish to connect to.

With On-Premises, this limitation is no longer there as you are using your own server. As long as both endpoints are able to detect your locally hosted server, you will be able to start a session between the two.

Naturally, this does not mean that the AnyDesk appliance server can only be used locally. If the appliance server location is publicly available and accessible over the internet, then it can be connected by your custom clients in different locations.

Many companies are very strict in terms of security and only want administrator-configured AnyDesk clients on their internal devices. On-Premises is one way of facilitating such a need. Simply block access to the regular AnyDesk network addresses found in Firewall in your office network and Cloud versions of AnyDesk will not be usable on the devices in your office network. Your pre-configured On-Premises custom clients will still work as they do not require our AnyDesk servers to retrieve information.

As you host your own AnyDesk appliance server, it stands to reason that you host the database yourself as well. This means you have full control over the data. This means that you can, for example, manage and remove the session history of clients which may be important for privacy compliance reasons, or remove specific elements from it.

Since is it impossible to bypass based on application, you would probably use a Custom URL category with a wildcard (*.anydesk.com), and apply it in a bypass rule. Unfortunately, this doesn't work (I'm not sure why, I think Anydesk uses IP addresses and not URLs)

And idea is If you want you can remove Anydesk from the "SSL Decryption Exclusion" and test decrypting it and presenting the users with the trusted certificate as a workaround (they will not see the self signed cert in this way) just check also if the SSL decryption profile allows self signed certficates.

Following a public statement published by the company regarding indications of an incident on some of AnyDesk's systems, the company conducted a security audit and found evidence of compromised production systems.

On February 3, 2024, Resecurity identified multiple threat actors selling access to compromised AnyDesk credentials on cybercriminal forums. One of these threat actors, going by the alias "Jobaaaaa," and who had initially registered their forum account in 2021, listed over 18,000 AnyDesk customer credentials for sale on Exploit[.]in, a prominent Dark Web forum. Cyber threat intelligence analysts from our HUNTER team were able to establish contact with the actor to acquire context about this activity. The actor said - "this data is ideal for technical support scams and mailing (phishing)". These compromised account credentials are believed to have been obtained via infostealer infections. Resecurityhas collected available information to share with the broadersecurity community, with the aim of increasing cybercrime awarenessand galvanizing risk-mitigation efforts.

The samples provided by the threat actors were related to compromised access credentials that belong to various consumers and enterprises, and which grant access to the AnyDesk customer portal. As a security measure, the threat actor sanitized some of the passwords. The threat actor offered 18,317 accounts for $15,000 to be paid in cryptocurrency. He also agreed to make a deal via escrow on Exploit. Resecurity reached out to the majority of the contacts identified as potential victims and confirmed they had used AnyDesk products recently or long ago. The threat actor didn't share any additional information.

The availability of this data for cybercriminals could serve as a catalyst for new attacks, including targeted phishing campaigns. With additional data about a particular customer, cybercriminals significantly increase their odds of a successful account compromise. For example, one possible scenario could involve these details being used in malicious emails sent on behalf of the software vendor, managed services providers (MSPs), or IT outsourcing companies with the goal of obtaining sensitive information. In the hands of a sophisticated adversary, this entry point could also serve as a gateway to a devastating SolarWinds-style attack.

According to the services availability information page, AnyDesk informed their customers about planned maintenance starting on January 29th. During this period, the company disabled the ability to log in to the AnyDesk client. This measure was likely taken by the company as a security precaution during the incident containment.

It is possible that cybercriminals familiar with the incident are hurrying to monetize available customer credentials via the Dark Web, with the awareness that AnyDesk may take proactive measures to reset their credentials. Such data could be extremely valuable for scammers, initial access brokers (IABs) and ransomware groups who are familiar with AnyDesk, and who have exploited the application for previous network intrusions.

In the security advisory (Feb 2), AnyDesk stated they "have revoked all security-related certificates and systems have been remediated or replaced where necessary," and "as a precaution, we are revoking all passwords to our web portal, my.anydesk.com, and we recommend that users change their passwords if the same credentials are used elsewhere."

Based on feedback received from multiple victims from February 3-5, some impacted users were still unaware of AnyDesk's mitigation recommendations. These AnyDesk customers were still using their old passwords and had not yet enabled 2FA on their accounts.

Besides underground ransomware operators, online scammers have previously abused AnyDesk and operationalized it in various fraudulent schemes. AnyDesk describes three of the most common attack typologies on its website:

Unfortunately, scammers have been successful in using advanced social engineering techniques, leading victims to fall for scams, despite numerous warnings and advisories published by IT vendors and the cybersecurity community. An example of these security failures is described by one victim on Reddit:

Notably, this issue is also relevant for users on mobile devices. There are multiple instances when consumers have been defrauded as a result of social engineering leading to AnyDesk installation on their phone. This scenario is widely used for online banking theft. One victim shared their experience on the Apple Community forum:

Resecurityadvises all AnyDesk customers to contact the company for furtherinformation regarding the potential impact on their organization.Passwords alone do not offer the necessary level of protectionagainst sensitive credential leaks.

Resecurityalso strongly recommends the use of additional security measures,including available forms of MFA (Multi-Factor Authentication). As aproactive measure, it would be prudent to monitor unexpected passwordand MFA changes for customers accounts, suspicious sessions, andpossible emails sent on behalf of other entities referencing AnyDeskaccount information.

are you using a Windows 11 VM hosted by Hyper-V? If so check if there is a session of anyone connected to the machine using Hyper-V. You should change the session option to basic session instead of enhanced session. This will help you connect with any desk. You have two ways of doing this:

I understood your problem and I just remembered it happen the same to me once but using a W10. I had several physical machines connected to the same firewall with same W10 version installed in all of them but for some reason in one of the machines anydesk wouldn't connect to the network. I didn't manage to fix that because I didn't really need it.

But I might have some thoughts about the trouble, if you ensure your network works properly (as you mentioned W10 machine works, I assume your network is fine too), then you should check that Windows Defender Firewall has the following entry rules:

On February 2, 2024, the company disclosed that a cyberattack on AnyDesk compromised production systems. The prospect of such software falling into the hands of cybercriminals is a significant source of concern, given its potential to provide unauthorized access to personal computers and other devices utilizing the host application.

While AnyDesk reassured users that the situation was under control, the crucial question lingers: what does this precisely entail? A thorough examination sheds light on the implications and potential repercussions stemming from this cybersecurity incident.
