VMware Trust Point - Securing the Workplace

Ø  Trust point = Unified endpoint management platform and Windows 10 migration tool = Tanium + Mirage + Dashboard (in future Airwatch) = 74 $ / device
Ø  Tanium's proprietary peer-to-peer technology lets organizations continually scan all endpoints in their global networks, finding and fixing security vulnerabilities and identifying and controlling unmanaged devices

Ø  Mirage logically splits the PC into individual layers that can be independently managed: a Base Image; a layer including user-installed applications, a layer including user data, files and personalization. In this manner, IT can create a single read-only Base Image. Image can be patched, updated, and re-synchronized as needed, without overwriting the user-installed applications or data. Read helps in migration to Windows 10
The New ways required to address the security Challenge in the ever evolving Workplace, this offering does address some of the Gaps which are there in Client Management Tools available out there.
