Policy-as-Code for Remote Desktops

The terminal waits. One command and a secure remote desktop springs to life, governed entirely by code. No tickets. No manual approvals. No human bottlenecks. Just Policy-as-Code driving the rules.

Policy-as-Code for remote desktops means every access control, network permission, and compliance requirement is defined in versioned code. It is executed automatically every time a desktop session starts. This makes environments reproducible and auditable. You know the exact policies in effect because they live alongside your infrastructure as readable, reviewable files.

Static policy documents and ad hoc admin changes create risk. Policies drift. Remote desktop access becomes a patchwork of exceptions. With Policy-as-Code, your policies are declared, tested, and deployed the same way you ship application code. CI pipelines validate rules before they ever hit production. Updates roll out like software releases: atomic, traceable, reversible.

For engineering teams, this eliminates manual provisioning steps. For security, it ensures consistent enforcement. For compliance, it provides a complete history of every change in human-readable form and machine-parsible format. You can enforce MFA, IP whitelists, and session logging without touching a GUI. The code decides, every time.

Integration with popular Infrastructure-as-Code tools lets you define remote desktops as resources and attach policies at creation. This keeps infrastructure, desktop images, and access controls in one declarative workflow. Version control tracks everything. Peer review catches mistakes early. Automated tests prove policy behavior before deployment.

Policy-as-Code scales with zero extra meetings. Onboards are one commit away. Offboards are the same. You push a change, and the policy engine enforces it instantly for every remote desktop in your fleet.
