PCs are a constant headache for security teams when it comes to securing IT infrastructure. As more computing moves to the cloud, why do physical PCs persist? As organisations move to cloud and online services to optimise end user devices that are accessing these services from a security and cost perspective by not deploying full-blown operating systems.
