How important is support for virtual smart card-based login to VDI (Windows client only)?
Virtual smart card-based login for virtual desktop infrastructure (VDI) offers robust security while improving end-user experience by eliminating the need for physical cards or a password to login to VDI. This method effectively prevents credential theft, including risks from phishing and keylogging attacks, which is critical for protecting sensitive data accessed remotely. Virtual smart cards can scale more easily with the organization's needs, and adding new users or replacing compromised credentials can be done quickly.
What this feature will do?
Customers can enable a secure & seamless login experience for their VDI end-users. The users will get a single-click login experience to the VDI vs. having to provide credentials the first time or even every time (based on cache settings).
Use Cases:
Customers looking for a seamless SSO login experience to the VDI for their end-users while avoiding credentials caching for subsequent logins
Customers who consider it a security exposure if their end-users must provide a username/password to login
