CDPSE: Certified Data Privacy Solutions Engineer

A thin-client RDP model keeps applications and most processing on the remote system, limiting the connecting device to presenting the remote session rather than granting it broad network-level access. This reduces the opportunity for a compromised connecting endpoint to attack internal resources. NIST distinguishes VPN tunneling, in which client-device software communicates with organizational application servers through the tunnel, from remote desktop access, which provides keyboard, mouse, and screen control of the remote computer.
