AnyDesk Security
After the 2024 Breach, AnyDesk Security Demands a Hard Look.
AnyDesk's February 2024 production-systems breach led to certificate revocation and forced password resets. Beyond the incident, day-to-day security controls (SSO, audit, isolation) sit on the custom Enterprise plan.
Is AnyDesk safe after the 2024 breach?
AnyDesk has remediated by revoking the compromised code-signing certificate, reissuing binaries, and forcing password resets. The underlying concern is structural: any vendor whose production systems can be reached far enough to mint signed binaries is a supply-chain risk for regulated buyers. DeviceView ships WebRTC peer-to-peer sessions (no relay servers holding session media), cryptographic per-tenant isolation, SSO and SCIM on every plan, and a clean security record.
