VMware announces new Anywhere Workspace tool to help businesses make remote work easier
Summary
The new platform is a combination of SASE, access control and cloud-native endpoint security that the company said is the only solution of its kind on the market. That transformation entails the use of multiple different technologies, leading to problems of fragmentation, increased complexity, and security difficulties, Iyer added. Shawn Bass, CTO of end user computing at VMware, said that the zero-trust design central to Anywhere Workspaces is built using a risk-based conditional access engine. Bass describes Anywhere Workspaces as moving security to the edge, which he said VMware is doing with a series of SASE access centers distributed around the world so policy enforcement can happen at the point of presence, rather than a remote server. All of the products that make up Anywhere Workspaces are available now, and VMmware said that "cloud web security service for VMware SASE will be available in the summer of 2021."
