MeshCentral provides remote management and terminal/desktop control over endpoints. Hardening should prioritize operator RBAC, agent trust, and secure AMT/TLS configuration.
¶ 1) Harden operator accounts and access policy
- Require MFA for all administrative/operator accounts.
- Restrict user groups to least privilege for device actions.
- Disable unused login methods and stale user accounts.
- Restrict admin UI access by source network where possible.
¶ 2) Secure agent and device communication
- Enforce TLS for server and agent channels.
- Rotate server certificates and verify agent trust chain.
- Keep relay/tunnel endpoints private except required ingress.
- Restrict scripted remote actions to approved operator roles.
¶ 3) Protect Intel AMT and remote-control features
- Configure Intel AMT with TLS and certificate pinning where used.
- Restrict AMT credential exposure and rotate on schedule.
- Log and review remote terminal/desktop session usage.
- Encrypt backups containing device inventory and session metadata.
