Dell’s thin client business is a strong one. With Windows 10 migration picking up steam, organizations are looking to migrate apps to virtual desktop infrastructure environments and thin clients are the ideal endpoints. As a result, Dell is continuing to invest in the market by launching new hardware including the Wyse 5070.
Dell Wyse thin clients are popular among security-conscious sectors like healthcare, defence and education because critical data is stored centrally rather than locally. Moreover, they use flash memory instead of large capacity hard disk drives to keep viruses and malware at bay. As a result, these machines are more resilient than traditional PCs and require a lower level of support.
However, if they are left unprotected, these devices can be exposed to attacks and may be compromised, according to Dell’s researchers. They recently discovered two critical flaws in its Dell Wyse thin clients that can be exploited to access files and credentials. The bugs rate as high as a 10 on the vulnerability severity scale because they are easy to exploit.
In addition to exposing files and credentials, these flaws can also lead to the complete destruction of a device. To prevent such attacks, Dell has released a patch for these vulnerable machines and is urging customers to update their firmware as soon as possible.
Whether you’re deploying a small-scale virtual desktop infrastructure or a larger scale cloud computing project, you can stay within budget and meet performance requirements using Dell’s cost-effective 3030 LT thin clients.
