The Remote Control feature in DisplayFusion doesn't provide remote access to a machine. It only allows a user running the DisplayFusion remote app to remotely run functions on the DisplayFusion Settings > Functions tab. Disabling the feature and hiding the tab via group policy fully disables the feature and doesn't allow it to be enabled. We will put a feature request on our list for a version that doesn't have the Remote Control feature code at all, but it's not likely something we'd implement in the near future.

Thanks!


Thanks again for the response Owen! I appreciate that you would create a feature request at the minimum. Where I work it has become common that if "Remote Access" of any sort is on the list they consider it an attack vector and put the application on a blacklist. ]]> RE: Requesting DisplayFusion Without the Remote Access Code for Company Compliance https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/requesting-displayfusion-without-the-remote-access-code-for-company-compliance/?ID=018bd8c9-1989-71c9-9017-30c7992ef8fc#4 Thu, 30 Nov 2023 14:07:11 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/requesting-displayfusion-without-the-remote-access-code-for-company-compliance/?ID=018bd8c9-1989-71c9-9017-30c7992ef8fc#4 DisplayFusion The Remote Control feature in DisplayFusion doesn't provide remote access to a machine.

You can create a GPO that disables this setting, and hides the tab so the user can't see it. You can find a list of the administrative settings here: https://www.displayfusion.com/HelpGuide/AdministrativeSettings/


Thank you for the reply, I appreciate it, however the information security team is not worried about the user enabling/disabling the function. They are concerned that it could be taken over by a malicious actor and used to gain access to the network. In this instance hiding the panel does not meet their criteria. ]]> RE: Requesting DisplayFusion Without the Remote Access Code for Company Compliance https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/requesting-displayfusion-without-the-remote-access-code-for-company-compliance/?ID=018bd8c9-1989-71c9-9017-30c7992ef8fc#2 Tue, 21 Nov 2023 14:16:04 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/requesting-displayfusion-without-the-remote-access-code-for-company-compliance/?ID=018bd8c9-1989-71c9-9017-30c7992ef8fc#2 DisplayFusion You can create a GPO that disables this setting, and hides the tab so the user can't see it.

With this in mind, could a version of DisplayFusion be distributed without this feature for compliance with more stringent company policies? ]]>
