Understanding Virtual Desktop Isolation

Virtual Desktop Isolation refers to the practice of creating discrete virtual environments for each user to work in, ensuring that each user's activities and data are isolated from others. This approach enhances security by minimizing the impact of potential cyber threats, such as malware or unauthorized access, as any compromise in one virtual desktop does not affect the others. It helps in protecting sensitive information, maintaining privacy, and reducing the risk of data breaches within a shared computing environment.
