Users of endpoint devices that connect their systems to any virtual desktop infrastructure (VDI) system have the risk of getting exposed to cybersecurity attacks, particularly screen capture malware, such as AgentTesla and keylogging.

This new version, ‘Armored Client for AVD & W365’, merges the patented EntryProtect technology of SentryBay (the product that guards against even low-level keylogging attempts) with an agent that secures VDI sessions. 

The agent uses the features inbuilt into Microsoft Intune UEM to strengthen the use of enterprise-grade security tools on each endpoint. This indicates that users will have seamless security, and less risk of a security breach through screen capture malware.

Microsoft Teams, a web conferencing software offers complete protection of the session without any compromise to user experience.

Dave Waterson, CEO at SentryBay, said: “The new Armored Client for AVD & W365 has been developed in consultation with Microsoft and is in response to the growth in BYOD/BYOPC within enterprises, and increased reliance on VDI and DaaS environments due to continued growth in remote working. Large companies have been using our Armored Client platform with great results for many years to protect their business data at the endpoint, but what is also needed now is a simply deployed product that suits the modern, hybrid workplace.”‍‍
