One of the major use cases of VMware Anywhere Workspace is to allow remote users to access enterprise internal resources via VMware tunnel.
This approach provides both data on transit security protection and zero trust protection with conditional access.
VMware tunnel is a certificate based authentication solution. It provides very seamless end user experience as it does not require user to manually input user credential.
CBA also provides a higher authentication security comparing to traditional user credential. further more, a certificate can be revoked when a device is detected non-compliant. This not only secure device itself but also the workload inside of internal network.
Certificate management from certificate issuing to certificate revoking are all automated without any administrator intervention. All an administrator has to do is to create VPN policy with details like allowed apps and device traffic rules.
Only managed and secured devices are authorized to get through an VPN and get to enterprise resources. Any non-managed nor non-compliant devices are blocked until they are either enrolled or back to compliance.
In the video, you will get to see how a user can have an iPad enrolled in a self service manner in no time.
After a device is enrolled and protected, enterprise policy and app such as SAP report and VMware tunnel client are pushed.
Finally, user can open up sales reports anywhere whenever there is a WiFi or 5G connectivity.
Instead of using traditional VPN which is not scalable and not zero trust based.
Per-App VPN only routes enterprise traffic back to corporate network. All other leisure traffic such as personal web, video and entertainment oriented data flow is all going through direct internet. The VPN traffic rules can be defined in a granular way down to app and URL level.
End point device management is here to help not only cyber security but also boost remote workspace productivity by enabling secure use of LOB and collaboration apps!
VMware workspace tunnel is available on iOS, Android, Windows10 and MacOS.
Here is the video showcases on using iPad to securely access SAP reports with the help of Workspace ONE UEM and tunnel solution.
Thank you !
