Can security software detect if I am using remote software? Can security software detect if I am using remote software?

I'm traveling internationally for a very short period and need to access my work environment. My setup is:

  1. Personal home PC (always on)

  2. RustDesk to remotely connect to that PC from abroad

  3. Citrix Workspace on the home PC to access client/work systems

Would corporate security tools (like EDR, network monitoring, or Citrix's own analytics) be able to detect that I'm using RustDesk as an intermediate step before connecting to Citrix?

  • Could network traffic analysis reveal the remote desktop connection?

  • Would this specific setup cause corporate security flags?

edit: Any specific setting in rustdesk I should use to avoid any detection?
