The Architecture of Modern Remote Work

 

🔮 The past, the present, and the future of remote work

🥽 Dive into the definitive inflection point of End-User Computing (EUC). The market is fracturing, ending the two-decade reliance on monolithic VDI architectures and binary choices between complex on-premises VDI and exposed VPNs. This transformation is driven by the maturity of cloud-native control planes and the emergence of non-virtualized secure enclaves.

💻 The EUC landscape is now defined by a “bifurcation of philosophy”: the Cloud PC model (e.g., Workspot, AVD), which treats the desktop as a cloud utility with guaranteed Service Level Agreements (SLAs), versus the Secure Enclave model (e.g., Venn), which rejects VDI’s high latency and cost by securing applications locally on endpoint hardware.

🔎 Discover the essential strategic framework for navigating the new EUC landscape, structured by the three primary market dynamics of 2025:

1️⃣ The Operational Hinge: From DIY to Turnkey SaaS

2️⃣ The Licensing Reckoning: The Price of Predictability

3️⃣ The Protocol Wars: Latency vs. Local Performance

🧿 Remote work demands have evaporated the tolerance for latency, driving intense competition between protocols and architectures. While legacy Titans like Citrix HDX maintain a “gold standard” for challenging, low-bandwidth networks, the Secure Enclave model attacks the latency problem directly by enabling zero-latency local execution on the user’s laptop, a capability VDI cannot match.

📢 For EUC architects, CISOs, and IT leaders responsible for global deployments, this report provides the blueprint for matching the right architecture (Cloud PC, Secure Enclave, or Legacy Hybrid) to the specific user persona — ensuring superior performance, compliance, and cost control.

Skype for Business and VTC Interoperability

Skype for Business (SfB) has a very, very strong potential, I have written about it in my previous post . I can't think of any other platform that shows as much promise in terms of bridging personal and business communications as well as unifying different modes and mediums. And all of this may have started with a strategic acquisition of Skype by Microsoft in 2011. That said, the road ahead is not without challenges. For example, interoperability with other platforms. Making SfB work with existing Video TeleConferencing (VTC) systems, many of which represent significant capital investments in organizations' infrastructure, could be of a particular importance. After reading statements like Skype for Business is based on Session Initiation Protocol (SIP) standards and supports H.264 (MPEG-4 video coding standard) one can come to a quick conclusion that integration and/or interoperability with other VTC solutions is easy or nearly automatic. Unfortunately, the industry is not...

AI Agents as Trusted IoT/Software Defined Devices

  🤖 Your Newest Endpoint Isn’t a Laptop; It’s an AI Agent. Are You Ready to Secure It? Dive into the next frontier of cybersecurity. Autonomous AI agents are no longer just code; they are powerful actors in our digital ecosystems. Treating them as simple software leaves a massive security gap. Our latest report introduces a new paradigm: The AI Agent as a Software-Defined Device. Discover the essential framework for securing the agentic future: ➡️ The Agent-as-Device Model: Learn why abstracting agents as software-defined devices, similar to IoT endpoints, is the key to managing their complexity and risk. Secure the “hardware” (host), “software” (agent logic), and “network” (communications). ➡️ A Digital Passport for AI: Move beyond static API keys. Explore how Decentralized Identifiers (DIDs) and Verifiable Credentials (VCs) create a cryptographic root of trust, giving every agent a verifiable identity and provable permissions. ➡️ Defense-in-Depth for Agentic AI: Uncover the mult...
