TruGrid Introduces RDP Inspector: A Free Tool to Detect Open Ports
Schaumburg, IL - February 20, 2025 - TruGrid, a leader in secure remote access and zero-trust solutions, has launched RDP Inspector, a free, web-based tool designed to help businesses and cybersecurity professionals detect vulnerable open ports on the internet. With cyberattacks increasingly targeting Remote Desktop Protocol (RDP) and other internet vulnerabilities, RDP Inspector offers organizations a way to show open and vulnerable ports on their firewalls.
Rising Cybersecurity Threats Through Open Ports
Open ports are a significant security risk, often exploited by attackers to infiltrate networks, steal sensitive data, and deploy malware. Exposed RDP services are targeted by ransomware operators, with attacks such as Dharma and Venus ransomware actively exploiting poorly configured RDP servers. An experiment by GoSecure found that an exposed RDP honeypot was attacked over 3.5 million times within three months. These numbers underscore the urgent need for businesses to secure their network perimeters by detecting and mitigating open port vulnerabilities.
TruGrid's RDP inspector aims to bridge this security gap by offering instant visibility into open ports. Through internet scans, the tool identifies exposed ports and provides actionable insights essential for mitigating cyber risks.
'RDP Inspector empowers organizations to take the first step in assessing and mitigating network vulnerabilities. Our goal is to provide businesses with an easy-to-use, effective tool to enhance their cybersecurity, regardless of their technical expertise.', said Peter Ayedun, CEO of TruGrid.
Key features of RDP Inspector include:
Browser-Based Scanning: Users can access the tool from any web browser, eliminating the need for additional software.
Vulnerability Detection: Scans for open ports and services that could expose systems to unauthorized access or attacks.
Actionable Reports: Generates detailed security reports to help organizations identify, prioritize, and resolve vulnerabilities.
In-country Usage: Built-in safeguards, such as geo-blocking, prevent misuse and ensure responsible tool usage for in-country scans.
RDP Inspector presents the results in either the tool's interface or via email reports. This allows users to receive both instant and comprehensive feedback on their network's security posture so they can prioritize and address risks more efficiently.
A Comprehensive Security Strategy
RDP Inspector complements TruGrid SecureRDP, the company's flagship solution for secure remote desktop access. While RDP Inspector identifies open and vulnerable ports, SecureRDP enhances security by allowing RDP access without any firewall exposure. It does this with no need for VPNs or inbound firewall exposure.
TruGrid SecureRDP makes networks invisible to attackers over the internet. The solution incorporates multi-factor authentication (MFA) by default and is built on a zero-trust architecture, ensuring that access is verified in the cloud before access is granted to protected resources. TruGrid utilizes a high-performance global fiber-optic network to minimize latency, delivering a smooth remote desktop experience for users
Strengthening Cybersecurity
Together, RDP Inspector and SecureRDP provide businesses with a proactive, end-to-end approach to network security. These tools help organizations address vulnerabilities, improve their cybersecurity posture, and maintain secure operations without compromising efficiency and user experience.
TruGrid's solutions are designed to support the growing demand for secure remote and hybrid work environments, offering accessible security options for businesses of all sizes.
RDP Inspector is available now at rdpinspector.com.

North American wholesale distributor United Natural Foods issued a statement June 9 saying unauthorized activity in its systems forced it to take some of them offline. Here's what you should know. North American wholesale distributor United Natural Foods said June 9 unauthorized activity in its systems forced it to take some of the systems offline. United Natural Foods is the largest health and specialty food distributor in the United States and Canada and the main supplier for high-end supermarket chain Whole Foods, according to The cyberattack was discovered on June 5. "The investigation to assess the impact and scope of the incident remains ongoing and is in its early stages," the company told the Securities and Exchange Commission. United Natural Foods said in a filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission the incident "has temporarily impacted the company's ability to fulfill and distribute customer orders." "As we work through this issue, our customers, suppliers, and associates are our highest priority. We are working closely with them to minimize disruption as much as possible," a statement said. United Natural Foods said it "has implemented workarounds for certain operations in order to continue servicing its customers where possible.
