They may have originally embarked on thin-client rollouts for remote access, but government agencies' early acceptance of virtual desktops has proved prescient as security models are challenged by growing use of mobile devices and cloud services.
Companies may have been delivering work desktops to remote users over the Internet for many years, but many organisations are only now discovering how effectively remote-desktop technology can be leveraged to improve the overall security of the new workspace as a service (WaaS) paradigm.
Controlling user access privileges has always been essential to enterprise security, but today's cloud and mobile-driven computing environments make that control hard to maintain. Thankfully, combining time-honoured remote access technologies with increasingly intelligent – and portable – business policies offers new promise for those struggling to extend internal security measures to outside IT services.
The emerging model of the Internet of Things (IoT) is rapidly changing the way organisations think about IT security – but IoT's unique characteristics are also likely to send ripples through conventional security architectures by forcing a fundamental rethink about how corporate data is managed and protected.
