Google Chrome Remote Desktop VS. MSTSC
Greetings all,
I'm looking for some feedback on the security concerns (if any) of Chrome remote desktop versus RDP. Typically, our users have needed to secure a VPN connection before RDP-ing into an onsite workstation they manage. Otherwise, we would have to set up Network Address Translation to publish the workstations' IP addresses, and this was deemed a bit of a security risk.
Now, Google Chrome Remote Desktop appears to bypass both the need to use VPN or set up NAT. Anyone know specifics on exactly how this is accomplished, from the networking side of things? I understand that users access their device through their Google account. What are others' experience with Chrome Remote Desktop in a business environment? And what security concerns should I be aware of?
Much Thanks-

Thanks for the feedback. Do you typically lock down this activity through GPO? If so, how would most companies accommodate the frequent webex, team viewer, or logmein conference meetings that users require?

This solution is only available to members.

For business environment i would not recommend it at all
You will not able to log those people or log what they actually did
Even if they connect or not
If you want to use this approach "with lose security environment " do it
But recommended is vpn + specify source address if thos who manage is company or v real ip registered to them
using this method you secure vpn and can log their activities
