Hardware-based Privileged Access Workstations remain the gold standard – with full supply chain control, dedicated devices, and physical isolation. But reality hits: not every organization can deploy and manage dedicated PAW hardware across all scenarios.

This session presents an alternative design for when hardware PAWs aren't feasible. Using Windows 365 Frontline in shared mode, every privileged session starts on a freshly provisioned Cloud PC – and gets destroyed on logoff. No persistent state, no leftover artifacts, no lateral movement from a compromised session.

We lock down internet access and precisely control connectivity to privileged resources through Global Secure Access – ensuring the Cloud PC can only reach what it needs, nothing more.

You'll see the full architecture, Conditional Access integration, real-world deployment patterns, and the tradeoffs compared to traditional hardware PAWs. Walk away with a blueprint you can adapt to your environment.

When hardware PAWs aren't an option, build ephemeral privileged workstations with Windows 365 Frontline, Global Secure Access, and custom reprovisioning automation – fresh on every login, gone on every logoff.
