The disclosure provides an approach for authenticating a user of a computer system, wherein the computer system implements a virtual desktop infrastructure (VDI), the method comprising connecting to a computing device through a network, receiving from the computing device authentication credentials, and determining whether the authentication credentials match an authorized user of the computer system. The approach further comprises extracting from the computing device features of the computing device, retrieving a machine learning (ML) model associated with the authorized user, wherein the ML model is at least one of (a) a supervised ML model or (b) an unsupervised ML model, and executing the ML model to authenticate the features of the computing device.

An example method of dynamic privilege management in a computer system includes: detecting launch of an application by a user in a login session of a desktop executing on the computer system; determining identification information for the application; evaluating at least one policy that specifies requirements for privilege elevation using the identification information as parametric input; generating a privilege elevation result for the application, the privilege evaluation result including a positive or negative indication of whether the at least one policy permits privilege elevation of a process created for the application within the login session; and elevating privilege of the process in response to the positive indication in the privilege elevation.
