According to the company, the Kaspersky Secure Remote Workspace solution includes:

• Kaspersky Thin Client - an operating system for thin clients based on KasperskyOS, which is installed on the TONK TN 1200 hardware platform;
• Single Kaspersky Security Center management console for centralized administration of thin clients
• Kaspersky Security Management Suite is an extension module for communication with the console.

The Security-by-Design principle embedded in the KasperskyOS architecture and the cyber-immune approach to developing a solution exclude the possibility of exploiting a wide range of vulnerabilities inherent in thin clients of other manufacturers.

The development of the updated version allowed expanding the functionality of Kaspersky Secure Remote Workspace:

• Updated interface. The user can now move the Kaspersky Thin Client connection panel on the virtual desktop. In addition, the detail of possible errors when connecting to a remote desktop has been expanded.

A power saving mode was also added, when configured, the monitor and thin client power is turned off while Kaspersky Thin Client is idle.
• Advanced update. The administrator can now confirm or reject the update of thin clients connected to Kaspersky Security Center. The interface also allows you to familiarize yourself and accept changes in the terms of the license agreement for the updated version. A delayed update installation is available for the user.

• Updated administration capabilities. The list of functions available to the administrator has expanded. Among them:
  • replacing the certificate for connecting the thin client to the Kaspersky Security Center;
