Security

Azure ensures the security of your data by utilizing reverse connect transport, sending an encrypted connection (HTTPS port) to the user instead of using a less secure open Remote Desktop Protocol (RDP) port. In addition, implementing optional security features allows you to ensure that data never moves from the VM to a physical device. You can require Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA) for users as part of the Zero Trust protocols. Microsoft Defender is fully optimized with Azure Virtual Desktop, meaning that your data is proactively secured against threats. Azure security infrastructure also includes Azure Active Directory security, Azure Firewall, and Azure Security Center, providing security options where you need them most.
