The Azure Virtual Desktop Security Guidelines Cheat Sheet – v1.0

Average time to read: < 1 minute

This checklist / cheat sheet is meant as a starting point to secure your Azure Virtual Desktop environment, with and without Nerdio. This list gives you an overview on some of the most important and common security measures (35 in total) regarding the lockdown of your AVD / Azure estate. The below security measures are split up into distinct categories, some are additional paid for services, outside of Nerdio and could be part of a Microsoft subscription you already own – check the cheat for a link to an overview of all Microsoft 365 licenses available, what’s included, etc. credits to: @AaronDinnage

Please, let me know what I need to add, change, remove or if you have other comments so we can keep this a work in progress. It is by no means my intention to provide you a list of all security features available today, so consider this document as a starting point, though it should get you quite far. Again, the main focus here is Azure Virtual Desktop and related services.
