VDI security guide

VDI security guide

With the wide variety of endpoints that exist today in the corporate environments, security is more important that ever, since, in addition, users are becoming increasingly more independent and it is harder to manage passwords, application configurations and network access.

Virtual desktop platforms favor security, since data is stored in VDI servers within the data center and it is safer that store them locally. And not only that. Desktop virtualization allows administrators to have more control over the distribution of desktops and applications.

Data security is one of the issues that most concern companies when deciding about public or private cloud.

Usually, organizations tend to be more skeptical with public cloud, but there are a number of tests that can be run to identify and fix possible security holes in this type of clouds.

In order to perform these tests, first you will have select a fragment of the cloud environment that you want to test and then, you will be ready to define the strategy to be followed.

A VDI platform may greatly improve the security of critical information, as it allows administrators to ensure the user workstation environment by controlling access to virtual desktops, refusing the use of non-authorized devices, if necessary.

On the one hand, the use of non-persistent virtual desktops permits you to immediately change the status of a user station platform back to a stable and valid configuration. A completely new desktop is presented to a user each time they open a session, which completely isolates viruses or any other type of malware.

VDI as disaster recovery strategy

Most organizations are provided with a disaster recovery plan that includes the steps to follow in case of natural disaster or a prolonged power outage that prevents them from accessing the jobs located in their offices.

Desktop virtualization is emerging as a tool of great help in these cases, since the users can access their virtual desktops from anywhere, anytime and with any device, so that production is not affected by the problems that may arise in certain facilities, thus avoiding the economic losses caused by the interruption of the activity.
