VDI, A Strong Addition to Your IT Security Strategy
Cyberattacks and data breaches are a ubiquitous problem in today’s data-driven world, and often result in dire consequences for the compromised party and the IT organization as a whole. For the government and commercial sector, the threat only seems to grow. For instance, in the government sector, the rate of cyberattacks is on the rise. Between 2010 and 2013, attacks on government agencies rose 35%.
In enterprise and commercial networks, a significant breach not only damages the company, very often very large-scale customer impacts are felt. Recent examples include breaches involving Ebay, Target, Home Depot and Anthem, involving millions of users and tens of millions of dollars in damages. Traditional security responses, including firewalls, network security software and antivirus packages, never seem to be enough and are vulnerable to social engineering hacks. That’s why many in government and in commercial industries are turning to zero client computing, which is more efficient and cost effective. Just what exactly is a zero client PC?
Zero Client – Key Advantages
Key advantages include:

Zero Clients Are Going Mobile
The biggest recent innovation in the zero client space is mobility. Until now, zero clients were restricted to desktop implementations. NCS is the only company that offers a true mobile zero client laptop, and it is available in North America and in some EU markets.
So if you are in government, healthcare, financial services – any industry that values security – zero client computing could dramatically simplify your strategy while improving security. Learn more about mobile zero client computing today!
