The cybersecurity landscape may be one of the few things evolving as quickly as today’s mobile workforce. It is now commonplace for executives to spend more time traveling, both domestically and internationally, than in their actual offices. Whether the executive is accessing private documents using public Wi-Fi or running their device through airport security, companies’ data has never been more vulnerable.

We've built up a well-appointed virtual workstation testing lab, thanks in large part to our sponsors. HP has provided the 16 thin clients and displays to bring this lab to fruition. While thin client computing hasn't always been the most sexy or performance oriented part of IT, it's growing rapidly for a number of reasons. One reason involves a more forward thinking design for the thin clients themselves, including a variety of mobile options that look about the same as their full-fledged PC cousins.
