With all the news about network viruses and information theft do the Winterm 5125SE or 5455XL increase this risk?
Actually, the risk is almost eliminated. Server Based Computing (SBC) provides a central firewall for intruders entering from the general internet. IT departments continually protect their users from this threat with good virus software and backup procedures. To protect from the remote link to the central server the Wyse Winterm 5125SE and 5455XL, offer additional protection using Socket Session Layer (SSL) and HTTPS for secure communications. In addition, Citrix has its own encryption that is supported in these products.
