"There are a number of major benefits that we're trying to benefit from in community virtualization," says Kevin Younger, principal engineer for Ceridian's Dayforce. Initially is safety and microsegmentation."

Ceridian is utilizing VMware's NSX-T to allow microsegmentation, which provides extra granular safety controls for better assault resistance.
