Workspace ONE UEM Powered by AirWatch provides comprehensive security for corporate email infrastructure, and the ability to view corporate data on personal devices provides convenience and improves employee productivity.

Introduction

Fewer email control options are provided than the on-premises models for many organizations that are moving to cloud-based email services(Google Apps, Office 365) than the on-premises models the enterprise has worked within the recent past. Earlier, the Secure Email Gateway (SEG) would have worked with many aspects of secured email delivery to devices and would have been deployed inside a corporate firewall. Although modern methods such as direct PowerShell integration to an Exchange Server or Office 365 offer simpler connectivity and more flexibility, somewhat less control over email delivery and compliance is offered.

In matters of devices and email clients, the flexibility of choice is offered by Workspace One.

To protect enterprise mail infrastructure, VMware AirWatch Mobile Email Management (MEM) functionalities are enabled by the Workspace ONE UEM Powered by AirWatchSecure Email Gateway V2 (SEG V2). Relay all ActiveSync email traffic to Workspace ONE UEM-enrolled devices by configuring the SEG along with the existing email server. Based on the settings defined in the Workspace ONE UEM console, the SEG filters all communication requests received from individual devices that connect to SEG. Access restrictions based on the device status, Email policies enhance security and general mail client characteristics.

Enterprises are more vulnerable due to a lack of control over what happens to email messages after they reach a device, although this allows a user to choose the client they prefer. In order to address these considerations, multiple methods of connecting email infrastructure to devices are supported by Workspace One.
