## Solution

Starting 01 February 2024, Check Point is announcing the Feature Deprecation (and Feature Discontinuation) and End-of-Support dates for the Secure Workspace feature within the Mobile Access Software Blade.

### Important Dates

Limited support begins on **01 April 2024**. From this date, no new features will be added, including support for new OS versions.

Support for the current OS versions will continue.

Secure Workspace deprecation and discontinuation will occur with the release of the **R82.10** version.

End of support starts on **31 December 2025**. From this date, the feature will no longer be supported.

### Frequently Asked Questions

**Why are we making this change?**

Check Point is dedicated to maintaining high security standards and feature sets for our customers.

The Mobile Access Secure Workspace has become less of a focus due to the availability of superior solutions in terms of functionality and management capabilities.

**How will this change affect user access to corporate resources?**

After the Mobile Access Secure Workspace is deprecated and discontinued, users will no longer be able to access corporate resources through the virtual workspace.

To ensure uninterrupted access, it is crucial to transition to an alternative method before the feature is discontinued.

**What are the alternatives?**

For customers interested in a modern way to control access to corporate resources from managed or unmanaged devices, we recommend the Check Point SASE offering. Please reach out to your Check Point sales representative for more information (on the [Contact Us](https://www.checkpoint.com/about-us/contact-us/) page, refer to the "Global Offices" section).

Alternatively, you may want to explore VDI solutions and virtual machines from leading vendors, as well as the Microsoft Windows Sandbox.
