It also details the added value for both users and administrators. 5 AppliDis Standby Database engine synchronisation management What does it do? AppliDis Standby Database engine management has been updated to improve data synchronisation in case AppliDis Standby Database becomes temporary unavailable. When a AppliDis Standby Database became unavailable, all the update SQL requests that cannot be sent to the database are stored within a cache file and are automatically processed when the AppliDis Standby Database becomes available again. Furthermore, AppliDis infrastructure performances are not affected when an AppliDis Standby Database becomes unavailable. AppliDis Standby Database data synchronisation is now managed through a new service on the AppliDis Administration Servers. How to enable it? This new feature is enabled by default in AppliDis 4 Fusion SP3. 6 AppliDis Booster What does it do? AppliDis Booster module is composed of 3 new features: AppliDis user profile virtualisation (currently released in beta version): This new feature will modify users’ profiles to only download a file when required. This will decrease user profile loading time and thus will improve TS/RDS session opening times. Pre-loading of TS/RDS sessions: A new TS/RDS session will be opened on an AppliDis Applications Server just after the authentication step on the

  • Endpoint Protection Platform for Virtual Desktop Infrastructure (VDI) Datasheet
    EPP VDI DATASHEET Endpoint Protection Platform for Virtual Desktop Infrastructure (VDI) Datasheet Introduction The SentinelOne Endpoint Protection Platform offers a lightweight and efcient solution to secure the growing need for virtual environments, including thin clients, layered applications, and other VDI scenarios. VDI solutions have been an underlying IT trend in some of the key business sectors for a number of reasons ranging from cost, compliance and seasonality of workers. And improvement storage performance improvements will only drive the adoption further. Securing VDI deployments is imperative to minimize the business risk and achieve regulatory compliance, especially in the face of increasing magnitude and complexity of cyber threats. VDI also presents some unique challenges for security along with some common issues seen in traditional endpoint deployments. Patching is not always rapid: Patching requires updating the golden image and need to be certified before rollout. Balancing cost and complexity: One of the biggest desired benefits of virtualization is cost savings with oversubscription. VDI implementations tend to be as light-weight as possible to optimize deployments and maximize resource utilization. Consequently, the layers of security controls are always deep. False sense of security: Given the temporal nature of VDI sessions, there is sometimes a false sense of security that drives user behavior. The threats to this environment however are as real – malware such as screen scrapers and key loggers put user credentials and business information at an equivalent risk as traditional endpoint because the virtual desktop is not isolated from corporate environment. VDI performance accentuates risk: Traditional AV scans that cause performance problems on traditional endpoints with dedicated CPU experience a more extreme resource crunch when running in shared virtual CPU environment resulting in AV storms.

    6 KEY FACTORS WHEN CHOOSING VDI SECURITY WHITEPAPER Contents The Need for Securing VDI3 VDI Approaches and Trends 4 6 Key Factors When Choosing VDI Security 5 Why Choose SentinelOne 6 Key Benefits 7 Supported Virtual Providers 7 6 Key Factors When Choosing VDI Security The Need for Securing VDI Common risks impacting data still prevail in VDI environments: ransomware, social engineering, drive-by downloads, network sniffing, vulnerability exploits, insider threats, privileges escalation, and malware. Some would claim VDI is a more secure option, mainly because one can terminate the VDI instances once done, but the overall security state is as strong as its weakest link – and VDI deployments tend to be exactly that for several reasons: • Patching cycles require updating the golden image and are therefore not rapid. • VDI implementations commonly try to consume as little resources as possible, so administrators try to reduce the amount of software deployed - something in the expense of protection. • The human factor: users tend to be less aware of security implications when running on VDI because they often don’t own the system and use it for a temporal session. Executive Summary In recent years, more and more enterprises have adopted VDI (Virtual Desktop Infrastructure) environments due to a variety of operational benefits. From a security standpoint, the common risks impacting data still prevail in VDI environments. To address security, manageability, and performance needs, security software needs to meet several benchmarks before VDI deployment. 3 6 Key Factors When Choosing VDI Security VDI Approaches and Trends In the world of virtual desktop infrastructure, there are two basic approaches: persistent and non-persistent.

  • First Concept for Tricerat Simplify Suite V5 Review by Wilco Van Bragt
    Product Review Systancia AppliDis December 2016 Wilco van Bragt Review Systancia AppliDis Page 2 of 22 Introduction Systancia Several years ago there were numerous products on the market offering a Server Based Computing (SBC) solution. VDI was introduced and even more products became available. However, in the last years many of these products are not here anymore. In the current landscape the big three dominating this market are: Microsoft RDS, VMware Horizon View and Citrix XenApp/XenDesktop. However, now another player is coming to the stage; Systancia. They have already been in the market for years, but were working in a kind of stealth mode in their home country France. In this review I’m going to be taking a look at their flagship product, AppliDis. Let’s start with a quick infrastructure overview of the product, before we are going to start the installation. AppliDis Components The AppliDis infrastructure workspace exists of different roles, which can be combined or installed separately over several machines. Wilco van Bragt Review Systancia AppliDis Page 3 of 22 The heart of the AppliDis infrastructure is the Administration server. Via this server the configuration is made and all other components are communicating via the Administration Server. The administration server stores the configuration into a database. The database can be a SQL or Oracle database, where Microsoft SQL Express is supported. AppliDis has the option to configure a back-up database on a different database server for fail-over/disaster purposes. This is also possible with using MS SQL express, so you don’t have any additional license costs.

  • LEADERSHIP COMPASS by Paul Fisher Privileged Access Management
    KuppingerCole Report By Paul Fisher LEADERSHIP COMPASS May 07, 2020 Privileged Access Management Privileged Access Management (PAM) is one of the most important areas of risk management and security in any organization. Privileged accounts have traditionally been given to administrators to access critical data and applications. But, changing business practices, hybrid IT, cloud and other aspects of digital transformation has meant that users of privileged accounts have become more numerous and widespread. To reduce the risk of privileged accounts being hijacked or fraudulently used, and to uphold stringent regulatory compliance within an organization, a strong PAM solution is essential.
