OPSWAT and Awingu’s New Partnership Strengthens Zero-Trust Remote Access Capabilities

Tampa (FL, USA), Ghent (Belgium), Oct. 5, 2021 – Awingu, maker of a browser-based secure remote access and Unified Workspace solution, and OPSWAT, a global leader in critical infrastructure cybersecurity, including the MetaAccess Platform. The partnership enables joint customers to combine the strengths of OPSWAT MetaAccess’ device posture validation with Awingu’s browser-based workspace access. Before users can access their Awingu workspace, OPSWAT MetaAccess will guarantee that their endpoints are compliant with set rules, such as device compliance, vulnerability and patch management and AV Multi-Scanning technology. This combined solution greatly mitigates risks.

“OPSWAT is pleased to expand our solution offerings with this new partnership with Awingu, bringing new ways for businesses to secure browser-based workspace access,” said Laura Ellis, VP Products, Secure Access at OPSWAT. “Awingu has unique technology in the marketplace for remote workers, and OPSWAT applies a diverse set of security functionality. Combining these functions enables businesses both the access and security required to safely operate in today’s environment.”

Awingu customers are enabled to access their applications, desktops and file servers via the browser, as well as from any device, anywhere. This often includes the use of ‘Bring-Your-Own-Device’ (BYOD) and loosely managed devices such as for example Windows Laptops or Apple Macbooks. Combined with OPSWAT MetaAccess, organizations can now add an additional condition for access based on the posture of the endpoint. IT administrators can define a minimum compliance level of endpoints as a context before allowing access into the Awingu workspace. This joint capability is unique in its simplicity of setup, management and usage, and it empowers organizations in their roll-out of zero-trust strategies: never trust, always verify.

“We are very excited about the partnership with OPSWAT,” said Arnaud Marlière, Chief Sales & Marketing Officer at Awingu. “With an increased adoption of BYOD for teleworkers or contractor access, businesses around the globe need to evolve away from old truths and old technologies such as remote access via VPN and plain RDP. Businesses need to apply a zero-trust philosophy when thinking of remote access. This partnership equips businesses with new capabilities to set up secure remote access.”
