1. A first Information Handling System (IHS), comprising:
a processor; and
a memory coupled to the processor, the memory having program instructions stored thereon that, upon execution, cause the first IHS to:
establish a first connection with a second IHS, wherein the second IHS is managed by a workspace orchestration service, and configured to establish a second connection with the workspace orchestration service, and wherein the workspace orchestration service is configured to:
receive device identification information of the first IHS from the second IHS; and
authenticate the device identification information of the first IHS, that was received from the second IHS, against a database provided by a manufacturer of the first IHS;
in response to a successful authentication, establish a third connection with the workspace orchestration service;
transmit context information to the workspace orchestration service, wherein the workspace orchestration service is further configured to:
calculate a security target and a productivity target based upon the context information, wherein the security target is calculated, at least in part, based upon a participation of the second IHS in the authentication of the first IHS; and
create a workspace definition based upon the security target and the productivity target; and
receive the workspace definition from the workspace orchestration service via the third connection.
