Desktop & Application Streaming Blog



This article discusses how PwC used Amazon WorkSpaces to create a secure development environment for a client with strict regulatory requirements, addressing several key challenges in software development workflows.

  • Solved issues with developers using company laptops, such as potential data loss and security risks
  • Implemented a secure network with restricted internet access and strict security group rules
  • Used AWS networking services like VPC, Transit Gateway, and Direct Connect to create a hybrid network solution
  • Created custom WorkSpaces images with hardened security configurations and necessary tools
  • Implemented device trust and certificate validation for secure access

Key benefits included improved security, easier patch management, cost reduction by stopping WorkSpaces during off-hours, and simplified image deployment for new development projects.
