CrowdStrike and Omnissa today announced a collaboration to provide real-time threat detection and automated remediation for virtual desktop infrastructure (VDI) and physical desktop environments, while improving customers’ digital work experience and productivity.

IT teams are challenged to manage both the complexity of hybrid work and employee expectations for a personalized work experience. Millions of devices and applications are deployed to support workplace demands, increasing exposure to both new and sophisticated cyber threats.

integration The Omnissa platformbuilt on Horizon and Workspace ONE, with CrowdStrike Falcon Cyber ​​Security Platform, will combine virtual desktop and application management, unified endpoint management (UEM) and endpoint security. This will provide organizations with greater threat visibility and the detection and remediation of interconnected threats for increased cyber resilience in virtual environments.

The planned integration will allow administrators to quickly identify and remediate any virtual desktops without the Falcon sensor and quickly deploy CrowdStrike’s native AI protection to those VDI sessions. Omnissa and CrowdStrike also plan to enable the Omnissa platform to ingest the vulnerability and threat status of devices directly from the Falcon platform so that Workspace ONE UEM can centralize and accelerate threat observation, risk assessment and automated remediation actions both in physical and virtual desktops.

“Bringing together the Omnissa and CrowdStrike platforms provides the best cybersecurity protection for VDI and UEM deployments,” said Daniel Bernard, Chief Business Officer, CrowdStrike. “These integrations will make it possible for joint customers to rapidly manage and secure all end-user endpoints, stopping threats and building cyber resilience.”

“Organizations are looking for a better way to manage the complexity of hybrid work, the explosion of devices and the rise of cyber threats,” said Bharath Rangarajan, SVP and Chief Product Officer, Omnissa. “Our partnership with CrowdStrike is to provide strategic value to customers who want to work with the best VDI, UEM and security vendors to seamlessly solve digital work challenges and deliver the best possible employee experience in the workplace work.”
