Unlocking Secure Remote Access for Public Sector: How AnyDesk's On-Premises Solution Ensures Data Sovereignty and Performance
Introduction
In an era where digital transformation is no longer an option but a necessity, public entities require remote access tools that seamlessly integrate performance, security, and data sovereignty. AnyDesk —a remote desktop platform renowned for its efficiency— has emerged as the go-to choice for governments and organizations worldwide. Its remarkable speed, military-grade encryption, and the ability to be deployed entirely on-premises with the Ultimate edition make it a compelling solution.
1. Key AnyDesk Features that Make a Difference
| Key Functionality | Value for Public Sector Organizations |
|---|---|
| Low latency and high frame rate (up to 60 fps) | Real-time monitoring and support, even with limited broadband connections in remote or rural areas. |
| TLS 1.2 encryption with RSA-2048 handshake and AES-256 session encryption | Ensures compliance with national and international data protection and cybersecurity standards. |
| Granular access control (whitelisting, role-based permissions, 2FA/SSO authentication) | Restricts access to authorized personnel only, simplifying internal audits. |
| Detailed session recording and logging | Provides complete traceability for disciplinary processes or forensic investigations. |
| Cross-platform support (Windows, Linux, macOS, mobile, embedded terminals) | Accommodates the heterogeneous infrastructures typical in the public sector. |
| Mass deployment via MSI/AD and REST API | Streamlines centralized management and integration with existing systems. |
2. AnyDesk Ultimate On-Premises: Absolute Sovereignty Over Your Data
The Ultimate license allows organizations to install the AnyDesk server on their own data centers or in a private cloud. Key benefits include:
- Data and metadata always within your perimeter: essential for sensitive sectors like Defense, Justice, or Critical Infrastructure.
- Operation without Internet dependency: continue providing support even during network incidents or traffic restrictions.
- Unlimited scalability: an unrestricted number of users and devices, making it ideal for large organizations or governmental bodies.
- Flat-rate pricing per installation (one-time fee + annual maintenance), simplifying budget planning compared to user-based licenses.
3. Specific Advantages for Highly Sensitive Sectors
| Sector | Common Challenge | How AnyDesk Ultimate Helps |
|---|---|---|
| Defense | Restricted areas, classified networks, need for 24/7 operability | Encrypted remote access within military networks; operation in air-gapped environments. |
| Critical Infrastructure (energy, transport, water) | SCADA/OT monitoring without exposing systems to the Internet | Local server with IP whitelisting, ensuring operational continuity and regulatory compliance. |
| Government Data Centers | Compliance with ISO 27001, ENS, NIST standards | Session auditing, strong authentication, and complete traceability incorporated. |
| Public Health | Safeguarding sensitive patient data | End-to-end encryption and total control over information flow within the health network. |
