Is Secure RDP an impossibility?
No.
I am now working (WOOT) and they seem to use entirely RDP, almost no VNC...
So?
This, by my reckoning would make the network most insecure.
And why exactly might that be?
Would you agree?
No.
Or is it possible to Secure RDP?
Yes. RDP already is reasonably secure in itself (a lot more than VNC). If you want to make it even harder to attack: run the RDP connection through something like an SSH tunnel or a VPN.
