Important changes include the automatic connection of a thin client to a remote environment, as well as the ability to transfer data from video cameras connected to thin clients. This will make the devices more efficient and safer, improve the quality of communications within the organization.

Automatically connect a thin client to a remote environment. This feature allows the device to establish a connection without having to enter user accounts data. This is especially in demand at industrial enterprises, self-service kiosks medical , institutions and, data centers where access to the device interface is limited and downtime is unacceptable. It also minimizes human factors and provides fault tolerance in highly automated environments.

Seamless video integration. Now recording from cameras connected to thin clients will be redirected directly to. virtual desktops Windows This will increase the quality remote work for which real-time visual communications play a big role. This is especially important in those such industries as and, finance where with the insurance help of cameras they take photos of customers at check-in in order to check their identity. The update will enhance teleconferencing, remote learning, and technical support as organizations have a seamless and easy way to integrate capabilities video conference into their workflows. Kaspersky Thin Client will ensure the safe and efficient use of webcams, improve the quality of remote communications and collaboration in various areas.

Support USB-devices for wider application. Kaspersky Thin Client has support for USB webcams and headsets. This will simplify device compatibility and the deployment of unified tools for communications within companies. The ability to safely connect peripherals will ensure stable and effective communications: whether it is an online meeting or remote diagnostics of the device. Other updates include support for audio redirection, the use of USB drives, printers and scanners for, OS Linux as well as automatic reconnection in the event of a disconnect, which will ensure uninterrupted operation.

Kaspersky Thin Client is a cyber immune infrastructure for thin clients based on KasperskyOS, based on the Secure-by-Design principle. It involves the creation of protection mechanisms at the stage of designing solutions. Management is carried out centrally through Kaspersky Security Center. The cyber-immune approach that underpins the solution ensures data integrity and secure remote desktop connectivity, making it an indispensable tool for building a reliable and robust IT infrastructure.
