Fyde app now available to all desktop users

Fyde, the new standard for zero trust secure access, announced that the award-winning Fyde app is now available to all desktop users. Mac, PC, and Linux desktops can now take advantage of the expedited remediation capabilities, full visibility, and advanced management capabilities already available for mobile devices.

In addition, Fyde now offers seamless secure access to resources on Kubernetes clusters.

Secure access is a challenge for many enterprises. Existing solutions like VPNs, and even two-factor authentication, do not address the performance, privacy, and security concerns that hinder adoption and compliance.

Fyde is challenging the conventional wisdom about secure access. Enterprises have struggled with ineffective VPNs, convoluted 3rd party access, complex security setups and employee pushback.

Fyde simplifies and strengthens secure access, solving three major issues:

• Latency, complexity and security concerns associated with VPNs
• Streamlined and locked down 3rd party access
• Compliance demands for a system of record to track access to SaaS and internal apps

“Fyde’s mission is to enable people to get work done anywhere on the planet, without sacrificing security, privacy or speed,” said Sinan Eren, CEO, Fyde. “Now, enterprises can empower users and protect their corporate IP with Zero Trust on any device.”

Fyde admins and end-users get a host of new capabilities to make Fyde an even more powerful tool for secure access.
