With more employees working from home than ever before, the need to control and govern your AWS Workspaces is increasing dramatically. Turbot Guardrails supports AWS Workspaces and modern remote workforces.

With more employees working from home than ever before, the need to control and govern your AWS Workspaces is increasing dramatically. You and your team are likely thinking about this issue already. With a remote workforce, how are you going to meet encryption standards? How are you going to monitor usage runtime so your cloud bill doesn't run up?

Large enterprises are shifting their end user computing to AWS Workspaces. Organizations such as Biogen have moved tens of thousands of their desktops and application infrastructure to the cloud to help IT be more efficient and help their employees be more productive.
