    GoToAssist/LogMeIn Remote into Computer Support

    The customer can disconnect the GoTo Assist session at any time. Reentry can only be established by eXpress badging, with the customer acknowledging and approving another session. At the beginning of all support session calls, the customer user is instructed to close all applications with information not a part of the support call. If the customer user leaves the computer unattended at any time, they must inform the eXpress badging technician they are leaving. If unattended remote access is not allowed, it is up to the customer to inform the eXpress badging technician that the support session needs to be closed until they can return. 
    • Requires customer to approve access every time
    • Encrypts session data with end-to-end SSL and 128-bit AES encryption
    • End-to-end authentication is accomplished using the Secure Remote Password (SRP) protocol
    • SRP is resilient against a wide variety of attacks, including both passive eavesdropping and active password cracking
