Secure Boot is supported for VMware VMs. There is a "VM Options" tab on the VM Settings. You can select "Boot Options" and there should be a Secure Boot check box available when UEFI firmware is selected and the HW version of the machine is greater than 13.
It is usually enabled by default when a Windows is selected as the VM OS.
