Configuring a watermark

To discourage users from capturing screenshots of sensitive data, you may wish to configure an optional watermark. If enabled, the watermark displays over the user’s cloud desktop.

This feature is available with the Apporto Zero Trust Desktop. Contact [email protected] to learn more.
