Realize the Future: Work from Anywhere with Zero Trust Security
During the challenging times in the last year and a half, some of our most important tools have been the modern technologies that keep us connected. Widespread access to the internet, combined with readily available devices of all shapes and sizes, enabled people all over the world to stay connected. Cloud services and apps, especially video conferencing, enabled us to work, attend school, and see friends and family. Simply put, the world had the right tools at the right time.
In the end user computing (EUC) space, we similarly benefited from having the right technologies—technologies that were mature and ready to help as the world started changing. Highly scalable virtual desktop infrastructure (VDI) was critical in enabling remote work at many organizations. Users were able to be productive from a variety of devices thanks to unified endpoint management (UEM) technologies. And SaaS app federation technology meant that companies could quickly adopt new productivity and communications tools. For those of us who have been working in EUC for a long time, we were glad that these technologies were ready to serve.
At the same time, as organizations look to the future, they see that there is more work to do. Traditional network-centric management and security models are in tatters. This creates countless challenges around security and operational complexity, resulting in business risks and a sub-optimal user experience.
To truly embrace the future of work, it is clear that organizations need to better manage employee experience and reduce operational complexity. Most importantly, the best (and perhaps only) model for security in a distributed world is Zero Trust–which is commonly known as a security model that operates on the assumption that no device should be automatically trusted, even if it is connected to a managed corporate network. Embracing Zero Trust security requires multiple technologies, and putting the components together can be challenging for customers.
VMware Anywhere Workspace
VMware has the technologies needed to address the future of work from anywhere and embrace Zero Trust security. And now, we are bringing them together in our VMware Anywhere Workspace solution, which includes the capabilities of VMware Workspace ONE, VMware SASE and VMware Carbon Black.
For those that have long been familiar with our end user computing products, this approach is similar to the way we brought our VDI and UEM products together into Workspace ONE. Now, we are building on the success and importance of VDI, UEM and access, and extending it into a broader security proposition.
All the technologies in VMware Anywhere Workspace are recognized for their industry-leading innovations, but, together, our combined solution has a unique opportunity to help enable customers to manage multi-modal employee experience, secure the distributed edge using Zero Trust concepts and automate the workspace.
We have already seen the value of integrations among these platforms. Many of our customers enjoy the benefits of using VMware Horizon, our VDI solution, together with Workspace ONE. Now with VMware Workspace Security, VMware Carbon Black works with Workspace ONE UEM and VMware Horizon to provide better operational efficiency, visibility, control and remediation for security threats. And VMware Secure Access brings Workspace ONE Tunnel and Unified Access Gateway together with VMware SASE and SD-WAN, again bringing better visibility and combined benefits all the way down to the end point.
