What is Secure Remote Worker?
A software-based solution that locks down a user’s personal Windows device to deliver a secure and compliant BYOD workspace.

A secure, temporary workspace on any Windows device
When Secure Remote Worker is launched on the user’s personal Windows device, the user is temporarily placed in a secure, isolated workspace session.
Lockdown policies are applied to this session and access to the underlying operating system is removed.
Once the user exits Secure Remote Worker, lockdown policies are removed and access to the underlying OS is restored.

How does SRW work?
Employee launches secure, isolated, and IT-managed session on any personal Windows device, logging them out of their personal user profile.
Employee is logged into a corporate profile within a secure workspace with no admin privileges, where they access VDI / DaaS or local applications.
Apps, services, & URLs can be whitelisted or blacklisted within the secure workspace, preventing malware un-approved services from running.
All data created during the secure session is saved to a hidden, BitLocker encrypted temporary drive that cannot be read by unapproved processes.
Data Loss Prevention (DLP): infiltration and exfiltration of data is prohibited. Data can be set to self-delete post-session.
External USB storage devices can be blocked without stopping the use of other USB devices such as headphones or keyboards.
When the employee is finished working, they close the secure session and are logged back into their personal profile on the device exactly as it was.
Secure Remote Worker is compatible with major VDI / DaaS vendors

This behaviour can be configured by the IT team, giving you full control over what services and apps are allowed to run during the secure session. When the secure session ends, any background services or apps that had been running prior to the session will be resumed.
If malware is already running on the device, then it will be stopped as soon as the secure session is launched. This includes screen-scrapers and keyloggers which sit on the endpoint. Only IT-approved services and apps can run during a secure session.
As long as the VDA is deployed, they will not be able to be to do this. ThinScale’s VDA (Virtual Desktop Agent) checks each time there is an attempt to access the VDI / DaaS to ensure that the secure session is running on the device. If it is not, the connection is blocked.
No. ThinScale’s Dual Persona technology enforces complete segregation between personal and work-related data, with zero chance of contamination in either direction.
ThinScale’s solutions can be remotely wiped from the device by your IT team, removing the ability to launch a secure session and revoking access to the corporate network. This is crucial when managing a remote / WFH workforce.
