Virtual desktop infrastructures (VDI) are becoming more common place as they offer enterprises costs savings however, they also pose new security risks. A Gartner report said that it expects 50,000,000 users, or 15% of corporate desktops to be deployed via VDI by 2013. For these users and their employers, VDI may offer cost savings but it makes them more vulnerable than ever to screen scrapers, key loggers, DNS redirection and malware.
As businesses strive to reduce costs associated with application and data access, many organizations are finding the solution resides in leveraging existing resources to centralize applications and services, including security. This may force enterprises to choose between poor VDI return on investment or poor security and potential lack of regulatory compliance. But what happens when data is accessed on your VDI from a local machine that is possibly infected with malware? That data is now susceptible to malware and theft.
Secure Your VDI Your Way
WebProtection™ for VDI provides data loss prevention (DLP) to ensure that the connection is secure and the endpoint data is protected when users access VDI farms. Enterprises can choose to run WebProtection’s SafeBrowser to protect browsing activity within our secure desktop or you can utilize WebProtection’s IE or Firefox browser plugins to automatically redirect certain browsing activity to the SafeBrowser allowing enterprises to ensure users are in a secure environment when accessing their VDI.
