The solution is designed to eradicate the need for custom browsers or VPNs.
Amazon Web Services (AWS) has announced Amazon WorkLink, a fully-managed service designed to streamline access to corporate systems and internal websites via mobile devices.
On Wednesday, the Amazon subsidiary said the service will «enable companies to provide their workforce with secure one-click access to internal websites and web applications from their mobile devices without connecting to virtual private networks (VPNs) or using custom browsers.»
According to AWS, the Amazon WorkLink app can be used to enable access to content via existing mobile browsers.
IT staff will choose what internal content can be made available through the app, and the system provides «a non-cached, fully functional, graphical representation of the web content to the user.»
