A thin client remote desktop protocol (RDP) is the most effective remote access model for reducing
the likelihood of attacks originating from connecting devices, because it minimizes the amount of
data and processing that occurs on the remote device. A thin client RDP only sends keyboard, mouse
and display information between the remote device and the server, while the actual processing and
storage of data happens on the server. This reduces the exposure of sensitive data and applications
to potential attackers who may compromise the remote device.
