IT teams face the challenge of managing the complexity of hybrid work and meeting employee expectations for a personalized work experience. Millions of devices and applications are deployed to meet workplace demands, increasing exposure to both new and more advanced cyber threats. By integrating the Omnissa Platform – built on Horizon® and Workspace ONE® – with the CrowdStrike Falcon® cybersecurity platform, the best virtual desktop and application management, unified endpoint management (UEM), and endpoint security are combined. This enables organizations to gain more visibility into threats and provide interconnected threat detection and resolution for enhanced cyber resilience in virtual environments.
The planned integration allows administrators to quickly identify and remediate virtual desktops without a Falcon sensor, and to rapidly deploy CrowdStrike's leading AI-native protection in those VDI sessions. Omnissa and CrowdStrike also plan to enable the Omnissa Platform to receive vulnerability and threat statuses of devices directly from the Falcon platform, allowing Workspace ONE UEM to perform centralized and accelerated threat detection, risk analysis, and automated remediation actions in both physical and virtual desktops.
"By bringing together the Omnissa and CrowdStrike platforms, we provide the best cybersecurity protection for VDI and UEM implementations," says Daniel Bernard, Chief Business Officer at CrowdStrike. "These integrations enable joint customers to quickly manage and secure all end-user endpoints, stop threats, and build cyber resilience."
"Organizations are looking for a better way to manage the complexity of hybrid work, the increase in devices, and the rise in cyber threats," says Bharath Rangarajan, SVP and Chief Product Officer at Omnissa. "Our partnership with CrowdStrike provides strategic value for customers looking to work with the best VDI, UEM, and security providers to seamlessly address the challenges of digital work and deliver the best possible work experience for employees."
