Utilizing Desktop as a Service (DaaS) means that data and applications are hosted in the cloud rather than on the local device. In the event of a laptop theft, no sensitive data resides on the device, thereby preventing unauthorized access. Coupling DaaS with multifactor authentication (MFA) adds an additional layer of security, ensuring that only authorized users can access the cloud-hosted data and applications. This combination effectively mitigates the risk of data exposure due to device theft.
