What Is Network Level Authentication (NLA)? (How It Works)
What Is Network Level Authentication (NLA)? (How It Works)
Network Level Authentication (NLA) is a security feature of Microsoft’s Remote Desktop Protocol (RDP) that requires users to authenticate before establishing a remote session. By enforcing this pre-authentication step, NLA reduces the risk of unauthorized access, conserves server resources, and protects against attacks like credential interception and denial of service.
