If your definition of zero trust includes the endpoint devices because they are in an area that the general public can access.
If you want access to your desktop from multiple locations. Ex, at my local hospital the staff can tap their badge to any computer and instantly reconnect to their desktop exactly where they left off.
If you are in a multi-site scenario but your big LOB app hates the internet so you need all your clients to be in the same building as the server. This is actually the reason I deploy vmware horizon... im not sure what jack henry and Fiserv are doing to make their overblown CRUD apps so network heavy and inefficient to operate, but I'm happy they are finally rolling out their own cloud-first apps so they can deal with their own garbage instead of outsourcing their support to their customeres IT guys.
If you literally just can't acquire hardware because of a pandemic and need more compute than you have on hand.
- marcosdumay 4y agoYou definition of zero trust can never include the endpoint devices. Those get to see everything you type on them, and have the same level of access to your services that its user has. Instead, with a remote desktop you are only adding a bit more of vulnerabilities. It can never remove any. (About those others, there exist some nice works about program portability, that culminated on fully distributed OSes, but those have no adoption. Instead, people prefer to hack distribution over the piles of hacks that are modern OSes. Obviously, it doesn't work well.)
