Remote & Home Working
Enable end user mobility by delivering a secure computing environment for remote desktop and application delivery while working outside the office location.
Work From Anywhere With Secure Remote Worker
With access to virtual desktops and other remotely delivered environments, users can now work from outside the corporate office environment.
Having the freedom to work from home, customer sites, other office locations or even the local coffee shop enables end user freedom, delivering increased end user productivity.
ThinKiosk & Secure Remote Worker
Intuitive & Secure End User Experience
Delivering Security for Remote Environments
Secure Remote Worker & ThinKiosk
ThinKiosk and Secure Remote Worker both deliver a highly secure virtual workspace, while also providing an intuitive user interface with a familiar Windows look and feel.
Users are still able to configure which networks they connect to, along with keyboard configurations and other customization. Within the workspace, they will find all their icons for connecting to their remote environments—all pre-configured by IT, and ready to launch.
Secure Remote Worker is designed to convert personally-owned Windows devices into secure thin clients, making it perfectly suitable for enabling ‘Remote Home Working’ in your workforce.
ThinKiosk provides the same functionality, but it was developed with corporate-owned devices in mind.
Intuitive & Secure End User Experience
With Secure Remote Worker installed, and when an end user switches to the virtual workspace, they are logged out of their current Windows session on the local device and logged into a local ThinKiosk account on the same device. This is ideal for machines that are off premises, like home PCs.
Secure Remote Worker’s policies are applied, Windows Explorer is blocked and the Secure Workspace UI is launched in its place.
When they have finished working on their remote environment, the end user simply logs out, which essentially switches off Secure Remote Worker mode. They are logged out of the secure environment and returned to their local Windows session, where they can log in again and continue working on the local device.
Delivering Security for Remote Environments
How does the IT department enable remote working and still maintain corporate levels of security, ensuring the end user device is secure and isn’t going to compromise data security?
Using ThinScale’s intuitive central management platform, IT teams can easily manage, troubleshoot, and update their entire thin client environment updating software, profiles, and security settings, all from a single console.
Built-in location awareness, coupled with a centrally-defined set of access policies, means that an IT team can dynamically restrict access to applications and sensitive data based on where the end user is trying to access it from.
