VMware is pleased to announce that VMware Secure Access™, part of VMware SASE, was named a 2022 TMCnet Zero Trust Security Excellence winner. The award recognizes leaders and pioneers in the industry with the best and the brightest providers, offering the most innovative, effective solutions.
The award recognizes solutions providers championing the “Trust nothing, verify everything” mantra of a zero-trust approach to security at a time when businesses are facing more complex and frequent threats than ever.
VMware Secure Access is a remote access solution based on a zero-trust network access (ZTNA) framework. The cloud-hosted solution offers multiple benefits over traditional VPN solutions, enabling consistent, optimal and secure cloud application access.
The solution gathers extensive information on security posture based on identity, device, application, and user to continuously evaluate access decisions. VMware Secure Access offers easy integration with VMware Workspace ONE, a unified endpoint management solution, to enable customers to implement a comprehensive zero trust strategy.
For lower latency and better application performance, VMware Secure Access leverages VMware’s global PoP footprint and optimizes traffic handling capabilities, enabling a branch-like experience for remote workers. To enable a highly productive hybrid workforce, it uses AIOps to provide deep visibility into users’ experiences when they access applications remotely.

How is VMware Secure Access different?
Trust is established and continuouslyevaluated using identity, device status, security posture, user posture, and applications being accessed, using principles of least privilege.
Superior user experience: Remote access clients connect automatically to the nearest VMware SD-WAN cloud service for fast, secure access and a better end user experience.
Dynamic Multipath Optimization™: As traffic integrates into the SD-WAN overlay, VMware DMPO reduces latency, packet loss, and jitter and improves bandwidth use for quicker file transfers and higher quality video calls
Centralized orchestration and management for networking, security, and remote access solutions
Visibility and actionable insights into user experience when accessing applications in the data center or in the cloud. These insights help IT embark on the journey to proactive remediation and self-healing.
According to the VMware SASE ROI calculator, based on a Forrester Consulting study, VMware SASE customers experienced a 50% reduction in time to manage IT network and security operations.
