# 2.2.4 Describe Azure Virtual Desktop

Azure Virtual Desktop provides centralized security management with Microsoft Entra ID. MFA can be enabled to secure sign-ins and access to data can be secured by assigning granular RBAC to users. Data and apps are separate from local hardware, the actual desktop and apps are running in the cloud so the risk of confidential data being left on a personal device is reduced.

### Multi-Session Win10 or Win11 Deployment

Win10 or Win11 Enterprise multi-session can be used, this allows multiple users concurrently on a single VM. This also provides a more consistent experience with broader app support.
