Enhanced security

Azure Virtual Desktop provides centralized security for users' desktops with Azure Active Directory (Azure AD). You can further enhance security by enabling multi-factor authentication (MFA) to provide secure user access. You can also secure access to data by using Azure's granular role-based access control (RBAC) for users.

Azure Virtual Desktop separates the data and apps from the local hardware and runs both resource types on a remote server. The risk of confidential data being left on a personal device is significantly reduced when using Azure Virtual Desktop.

User sessions can be isolated in both single and multi-session virtual desktop deployments.

Azure Virtual Desktop improves security by using reverse connect technology, a more secure connection type than the Remote Desktop Protocol (RDP). However, the session hosts do open inbound ports to the session host VMs.
