VMware Offering Meets Rigorous Cloud Security
Requirements Mandatory for All U.S. Federal Agencies
VMware, Inc. (NYSE: VMW) today announced VMware Workspace ONE®
Access™ has achieved Federal Risk and Authorization Management
Program (FedRAMP℠) Moderate Authorization. In achieving this
authorization, VMware Workspace ONE Access joins VMware Workspace
ONE Unified Endpoint Management (UEM) and an elite group of
technology leaders that allow the public sector and other regulated
industries to rapidly adopt SaaS solutions for mission-enabling,
more secure, and cost-effective cloud-based IT.
The FedRAMP Moderate Authorization, and its baseline of 325
controls, allows users from federal agencies and other industries
in regulated environments to manage Controlled Unclassified
Information (CUI) such as personally identifiable information (PII)
and routine covered defense information (CDI). FedRAMP provides
standardized security requirements for cloud products, services
assessments, and monitoring used in federal agencies. It enables a
more streamlined procurement process for U.S. federal customers by
standardizing security requirements across federal agencies and
allows them to choose authorized cloud solutions that meet various
levels of security requirements and certification with
confidence.
“Today’s U.S. government is in a race to modernize its IT
infrastructure to support ever more complicated missions, growing
workloads and an increasingly distributed workforce—and do so
facing a constantly evolving threat landscape,” said William J.
Rowan, vice president of federal sales, Government, Education and
Healthcare (GEH), VMware. "By earning the FedRAMP Authorization for
Workspace ONE Access, VMware equips our federal customers with
device management, access management and an end-to-end Zero Trust
approach, allowing them to maximize time and resources, enhance
security efficiency and boost resiliency.”
Many federal government agencies are realizing that there are
benefits to having a distributed workforce—if they can solve the
biggest technology challenge that remote work presents: network
access and device management. Remote workers have been wrestling
with a plethora of access and user experience related problems,
from overly complex login and authentication processes to
slow-running apps. IT teams have been struggling to better secure
and optimize a suddenly perimeter-less network that is being
accessed from unknown devices and unknown locations.
VMware Workspace ONE Access delivers multifactor authentication
(MFA), conditional access and single sign-on (SSO) for applications
delivered by combining the user’s identity with factors such as
device and network information to make intelligence-driven,
conditional access decisions. As a part of the Workspace ONE
FedRAMP Authorized platform, federal agencies faced with the
challenge of securing a remote workforce can now deliver a Zero
Trust security approach while providing access from government
furnished equipment (GFE) or BYO device programs for a more secure,
consistent application access experience from any device.
Available as a cloud-hosted service, Workspace ONE Access is an
integral part of the Workspace ONE platform including Workspace ONE
Intelligent Hub and Workspace ONE Unified Endpoint Management
(UEM).
