Versions:
Devolutions Agent 2026.1.0.0, released by Devolutions inc., is a lightweight companion service designed to sit behind the Remote Desktop Manager ecosystem and handle the secure, policy-driven execution of remote-connection tasks without exposing credentials or sensitive configurations to end-users. Installed silently on Windows workstations, servers, or jump hosts, the agent acts as a local proxy that negotiates encrypted tunnels to RDP, SSH, VNC, ARD, Telnet, and web-based sessions, enforcing role-based access rules, vault-integrated password rotation, and multi-factor authentication prompts before any outbound socket is opened. IT departments deploy it to relieve the central console from direct endpoint reach, thereby eliminating firewall exceptions, reducing lateral-attack surface, and satisfying zero-trust mandates that require every connection request to be brokered through an audited, least-privilege intermediary. Typical use cases include allowing help-desk technicians to shadow regulated workstations without learning domain admin passwords, enabling developers to open production database shells from locked-down VDIs while session video is recorded for compliance, or letting third-party vendors perform time-boxed maintenance on PLCs without VPN exposure. Because the agent is version-aware, Remote Desktop Manager 2025 and newer can push differential updates, ensuring that cipher suites, token validators, and logging transports remain current across tens of thousands of endpoints. Two major versions—2025.x legacy and the current 2026.1.0.0 branch—coexist in most environments, the latter adding support for FIDO2 key attestation and ephemeral certificate issuance through Devolutions’ Hub. The utility belongs to the Remote Computing category and is available for free on get.nero.com, with downloads provided via trusted Windows package sources such as winget, always delivering the latest build and supporting batch installation of multiple applications.
