Secure by design
Offer secure remote access at scale across your organization with confidence. VNC Connect features enterprise-grade security that protects against external threats, while a suite of admin tools gives you complete control of access across all devices.
Security is at the core of our solution – by design, we treat every connection as though it originated in a hostile environment. To safeguard against unsolicited access, an incoming connection must always be authorized from the end-user device on the Server side. And to ensure total privacy, sessions are always end-to-end encrypted at up to 256-bit AES.

"Moving from a small-scale deployment to an estate of several hundred industrial control systems requires a different level of security, visibility, and control. We're pleased to support the manufacturer as it standardises on RealVNC Connect, enabling secure offline remote access and centralised management that aligns with the long-term requirements of its automation environment."

"One of the reasons we chose RealVNC was its responsiveness during photo reviews. Our COO frequently connects remotely to review project and inspection photos as part of the estimating process, sometimes flipping through 80 or more images in a single session. With RealVNC, each photo appears almost instantly as he moves through the image set. Other remote-access and screen-sharing solutions we evaluated introduced noticeable lag when displaying the next photo, which made the review process frustrating. RealVNC provided a much smoother experience and allowed him to review large numbers of photos efficiently from a remote location."
