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.
Google and Red Hat have been working together to release a patch for a bug in GNU C Library or glibc, used by most Linux applications, distros and devices.
This vulnerability can be remotely exploited when users click on a link or connect to a Linux server, allowing cybercriminals to steal passwords, spy on users or seize control of computers.
The choice of UDS Enterprise as best VDI tech and pricing proposal by a commitee comprised of experts from more than 20 Spanish universities, the video showing how application virtualization with UDS Enterprise works and a list of Open Source firewalls for SMBs have been the most read posts in our blog during the last weeks.
