6th Annual Conference. June 04, 2014. San Francisco

In this talk we discuss the use of the non-persistent desktop virtualization model for cyber defense purposes, drawing on my experiences working with the US Federal Government and my partners in the Defense sector, SAIC and the Isreali Cyber Defense Institute.

The idea of using a 'disposable' cloud desktop for cyber defense was first floated back in early 2010 within the National Nuclear Security Administration, as a series of discussions between CyberSec teams at Los Alamos National Laboratory and Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory.

We've all heard the pitch about centralized desktops are easier to secure and administer than conventional ones. Desktops as workflows have very unique requirements in order to be provisioned as a cloud-based service, the net of which makes most use cases untenable.
