Login to CIS WorkBench - https://workbench.cisecurity.org/
Go to Benchmarks on the top Navigation bar
Search for Windows Server 2016

Search for the word ‘RDP’ or other related words such as 'remote connection' using ctr+f
Go to the recommendations related to RDP and remote connections
Recommendation

Relates to RDP.Read the recommendation
