VMware has announced the general availability of VMware Cloud Web Security, a cloud-hosted service that better protects users and infrastructure accessing SaaS and Internet applications.
VMware Cloud Web Security, delivered from the VMware SASE Platform, extends the advantages of VMware SD-WAN and VMware Secure Access to connect users working from anywhere to applications in the cloud with enhanced security enforcement along the path from the user to the application. VMware SASE combines SD-WAN with cloud-delivered security to deliver flexibility, agility, protection, and scale for enterprises of all sizes.
VMware SASE is architected to leverage the power of the cloud while minimizing complexity at the edge. It is an easy to consume, one-stop-shop for security and network services, enabling a unified edge and cloud service model with a single place to manage business policy, configuration, and monitoring. VMware SASE is uniquely extensible which allows VMware to support more new edge services in the future. The solution is delivered through a global network of over 150 VMware SASE points of presence (PoPs) to enable optimal access to applications.
VMware Cloud Web Security includes SSL proxy with decryption to inspect the majority of web applications that are SSL encrypted today. IT can control the web sites employees can or cannot access with URL filtering.
