Anti-Credential Theft – Pass-the-Hash attack Protection

E83.10 introduces enhancements to the credential theft protection suite which already supports Zero-day phishing, corporate password re-use and credential dumping.

Virtual Desktop Infrastructure (VDI) Persistent and Non-Persistent for VMware Horizon – General Availability

Virtual desktop infrastructure (VDI) is virtualization technology that hosts a desktop operating system on a centralized server.

With persistent VDI each desktop runs from a separate disk image. The user's settings are saved and appear each time at login and allows more personalization experience.

Non-persistent VDI creates a generic desktop that always reverts to the same original setup after a user logs out. Additionally a non-persistent desktop does not allow a user to install an application and retain it across logons.

E83.10 supports VDI persistent and non-persistent modes as GA.  

More information is available at E83.10 VDI Administration Guide

Additional Enhancements
