Q: Is Splashtop a Security Risk?

No, Splashtop does not use Remote Desktop Protocol (RDP). Instead, it uses its own proprietary technology for remote access, which is optimized for performance and ease of use. While RDP is specific to Windows systems, Splashtop supports a wider range of platforms and devices.

To disable users on Splashtop, you typically need to access the account management or admin settings within the Splashtop business portal. From there, you can manage user permissions, including disabling accounts or restricting access as needed. Ensure you have the appropriate administrative rights to make these changes.

While Splashtop provides remote access and support features, it is not designed specifically for spying on employees. Organizations may use it to monitor performance and support needs, but ethical considerations and legal compliance should govern such practices. Employees should be informed about any monitoring policies in place.
