To assist with selecting the appropriate workspace, here is a set of concerns and the list of workspaces that can serve in such a context. {% hint style="danger" %} When choosing a non-on-premises workspace, it is important to account for the security of data both at rest and in transit. It is strongly recommended to further encrypt data using a master key for file-based solutions or a [security provider](https://docs.devolutions.net/rdm/commands/administration/security-providers/) for [advanced workspaces](https://docs.devolutions.net/rdm/workspaces/workspace-types/native-workspaces/), ensuring that only authorized parties can access the data. {% endhint %}

#### Note Exposing a Devolutions Server instance to the Internet without protection from DDoS attacks is not recommended. It is essential to use strong passwords and obscure account names that cannot be easily deduced through social data mining techniques. --- # Agent Instructions This documentation is published with GitBook.
