VMware Helps Secure Foundations of Sri Lanka’s Digital Infrastructure and Anywhere Workspaces

■ New advancements enable organisations to transform security strategies, accelerating holistic workplace transformation for the new future of work

■ Collaboration with Zoom enables seamless and more secure experience for Sri Lanka’s anywhere workspaces Leading organisations in Sri Lanka have responded, adapted and accelerated their digital transformation efforts in the past year as they pivoted to the sudden remote environment. However, the sprint toward digital transformation has quickly expanded the threat landscape and attackers have seized the opportunity to exploit these the new vulnerabilities. To address this changing threat landscape, VMware, Inc. (NYSE: VMW) announced innovations to better secure the world’s digital infrastructure and anywhere workspaces.

“Cyberattacks and breaches are perennial challenges for organisations, particularly so for those operating in Sri Lanka’s heterogenous business environment. As attack sophistication continues to evolve and threat actors look for more avenues to exploit, organisations need a new approach that is simpler, faster, and smarter with the resilience to help keep their anywhere workforces safe from cyberattacks,” said Devendra Manuvel, Country Manager, VMware Sri Lanka. “A holistic workplace transformation that encompasses security, accessibility and speed will be critical for Sri Lanka’s remote-first workforce and help Sri Lankaadapt and accelerate to the digital future.”

“Between the rapid move to cloud, the adoption of new tools, and the lack of collaboration between security and DevOps teams, we’ve entered an era of complexity never seen before,” said Frank Dickson, Programme Vice President, Security & Trust at IDC. “Complexity is the enemy of security and by default, resiliency. Organisations are still getting breached because we haven’t put security first in our digital transformation initiatives. VMware looks to provide security teams with a simplified, built- in approach to defend against emerging threats faster and smarter.”
