Thin clients are one useful option for VDI access. Some of these devices don't require antimalware software, as they are secure enough by their own.
But some others require extra protection in order to assure data and users security. One example are repurposed PCs as thin clients, since although they are not usually configured to run software locally, they are tecnically vulnerable to different types of malware.
In fact, certain malware may even attack hardware redirection or hardware drivers, allowing for example, inject a key logger onto the device.
In case of traditional thin clients from vendors they are not easily exploited by malware. Anyway, almost all of them have sufficient capacity to have antimalware software installed. So, even though the risk of being inffected by malware is very low, security can always be reinforced to prevent from potential attacks.

The term “Cloud Computing” refers to the use of computing resources (servers, storage, computing capacity, databases, networks, software) over the Internet.
Discover the advantages of virtual desktops: the solution that redefines remote work by allowing access to the work environment at any time, from anywhere, and from any device.
We explain in depth what Virtual Desktop Infrastructure (VDI) is, its advantages, types, implementation and how you can digitize your company’s workplaces with this solution.
Much of the success of technological evolution goes through virtualization. A concept that, outside the technical world, is becoming more widespread. It hides a power that, up to now, we have only timidly begun to explore.
In recent years, much has been written about the advantages of virtualization and the many benefits it brings to companies; especially, after the strong irruption of remote working driven by the pandemic.
On the surface, VDI may seem to solve the same issues as application virtualization technology. However, VDI isn’t a substitute for virtualized applications. In this article, we break down VDI and application virtualization. Keep reading to learn more and discover whether you should use both together or not.
