THIN CLIENTS VS. DESKTOPS

From the point of view of security, an environment with thin-clients can be equal to an environment with desktops, because basically, both are composed by devices that you use to access to information (locally o remotely), and the key is : how to protect the information and how to access to the information?

With thin-clients you can access to the information remotely, so in this case, it will be important to protect the channel of communication. With desktops, if you access to information remotely, it is also important to protect the channel of communication in the same way.

So, from my point of view the most important thing should be how to protect and how to access the information, independently of the devices or the environment. Keep also in mind that for the protection of the information – in accordance with ISO 27001- you need to perform a risk assessment & treatment, so maybe this article can be interesting for you - “ISO 27001 risk assessment & treatment – 6 basic steps” : https://advisera.com/27001academy/knowledgebase/iso-27001-risk-assessment-treatment-6-basic-steps/ c-steps/
