Using virtual desktop at-home and in-office.: D97-1/70-111-2020E-PDF

"Virtual desktop infrastructure (VDI) allows you to access an entire virtual computer (complete with operating system, storage, and memory) from your existing desktop computer. With VDI, your organization’s employees can access organizational applications and data inside and outside the office. VDI is often implemented to reduce hardware costs, but, if not configured properly, VDI can introduce security vulnerabilities to your organization. This document covers the benefits and the risks of using VDI and introduces security practices that you can implement to mitigate the risks"--Page [1].
