Across the country businesses and public agencies alike are holding virtual job fairs and summits and talking about the effects of the virtual workforce.

One solution to this hurdle is the virtual desktop, such as Microsoft's Azure Virtual Desktop, which can be an easy way to deploy and manage desktop and application virtualization via a service running in the cloud.

Virtual desktops are a perfect illustration of how a strong access management control system in place can limit an organization's exposure to security threats.

In the event of data loss, IT can easily recreate virtual desktops and restore data and applications.

Whether the virtual desktop is for a longer term remote/virtual worker or one just entering the virtual/hybrid workforce, the security benefits of virtual desktops will be most effective if the user experience is not a headache.

Virtual desktops are particularly beneficial for seasonal and other temporary workers, or contractors who need to toggle between customer sites.
