It is important that security is up-to-date on your VMware Horizon 8 and Horizon Cloud on Microsoft Azure deployments.

Applying Security Patches for a VMware Horizon 8 Deployment

Depending on which bug fixes you require, install the applicable Horizon 8 components, in the following order:

  1. Connection Server
  2. Horizon Agent
  3. Horizon Client

For information about upgrading Connection Server and Horizon Agent, see the Horizon 8 Installation and Upgrade document.

For information about upgrading Horizon Client, see the Horizon Client documentation.

Keeping Horizon Agent Current for Horizon Cloud on Microsoft Azure

VMware provides periodic updates of agent-related software to deliver new features and bug fixes, including ones related to security. To ensure that your agent machines operate with the latest security features, it's a good practice to keep Horizon Agent updated to the current version as appropriate for your environment.
