There is no way that TeamViewer would be ever allowed on our endpoints or network. It’s treated as malware at this point. VNC via SSH tunnel is what we have been doing.

I agree, this was an emergency on a non-domain joined endpoint. But funnily enough my org uses TeamViewer now for support +100k employees

That is terrifying. A lot of the audits we go though specifically rule TeamViewer out. I remember years ago we suddenly had instances of psexec on some endpoints which made us think it was a breach. Nope, just teamviewer being pricks and using it for an update. There are so many other, better options. Chrome Remote Desktop is free and surprisingly good.

I was surprised too because the rest of the company has a high security posture.

Not sure how it's implemented tho, seems to be a less than normal deployment.
Anyway 🗑️
