In today’s increasingly mobile world, the pressures of managing and securing devices, endpoints, and networks are straining the limits of existing infrastructures. Traditional perimeter—based approaches and piecemeal solutions can’t keep pace with emerging attacks. By focusing instead on securing your most important business assets—your apps and data—you can both simplify and strengthen security without compromising productivity. Lock down your enterprise IT security strategy. Citrix™ holistic approach to information security gives IT powerful centralized control over the management, access, and hosting of business—critical apps and data. Citrix™ solutions provide 5 critical enterprise security capabilities to give you complete coverage over what matters most. Up—level your enterprise security beyond user names and passwords by controlling access, authentication, and authorization to your apps, data, and network for employees and third parties. Protect your network and provide encrypted delivery of apps and data while ensuring 100% uptime and performance. Achieve security, compliance, and risk mitigation through secure remote access, network segmentation, and access control.
Take control at the application level. Centralize your apps in the data center or cloud, and provide secure access regardless of device. This helps you protect sensitive business information and defend against zero—day and denial—of—service attacks. Secure enterprise data in the data center or cloud instead of on endpoint devices. Containerization, data encryption, and secure file sharing can reduce the risk of leaks and attacks, including on mobile devices, while helping ensure regulatory compliance. Advanced monitoring tools give you full visibility into your IT infrastructure. Detect threats, misconfigurations, and performance issues so you can respond fast and avoid user interruption. Comply with regulations and reduce the scope of security and compliance audits. Give employees and third parties secure access to sensitive business information whether they’re at headquarters, a branch office, or offshore locations, and during mergers and acquisitions. You can significantly reduce security risks by providing access only to the information people need. By controlling privileges and tracking and monitoring user activity, you’ll be able to respond immediately to unusual behavior.
Gain the controls needed to ensure the right levels of authentication and authorization. Citrix™ enterprise security solutions have built—in identity and access capabilities so you can control access to your apps, data, and network beyond just credentials. Managing user access calls for a balanced approach that’s convenient for users and more secure than a simple user name and password combination. Bolster your security with multifactor authentication. Because passwords are so vulnerable, requiring people to use at least two forms of authentication—like a password and token—to access apps and desktops is essential for effective security. This multifactor authentication process makes it significantly harder for an attacker to impersonate a user, even if the primary password has been exposed. Citrix XenApp™, XenDesktop™ and NetScaler Unified Gateway™ support multifactor authentication and activity logging for compliance support. With Citrix NetScaler Unified Gateway™, there are several things you can do to simplify the sign—in experience for your users while encouraging the use of strong passwords. Centrally manage access to third—party cloud services, like Microsoft Office 365™, as easily as in—house resources. Bind access to your user directory and eliminate the need for separate sign—in credentials.
Protect against every kind of attack while ensuring a seamless user experience. Citrix™ enterprise security solutions can protect your entire network as attacks of all kinds get more sophisticated. As more people need to access information from both inside and outside your corporate network, the need for the secure delivery of business—critical apps and data has never been greater. Secure access to your apps, desktops, and data. Citrix NetScaler Unified Gateway™ is an SSL VPN solution that secures the delivery of your virtual apps and desktops, protecting your sensitive information while maintaining compliance. It provides access to web, SaaS, and Citrix™ apps and desktops through a single URL from any device. Optimized to work with Citrix XenApp™ and XenDesktop™ virtualization solutions, NetScaler Unified Gateway™ allows you to centrally manage access control policies and get full visibility into HDX traffic from a single console. Network segmentation in NetScaler ADC™ allows you to define security zones that minimize unwanted access to sensitive apps and data. Firewalls and gateways then restrict traffic to certain zones, limiting lateral movement, which makes it easier to quarantine a breach.
App security is one of the core capabilities of Citrix™ security solutions. With the increased use of mobile devices and BYOD, employees are now accessing corporate applications and data from their own devices both within and outside your corporate network. On mobile devices, natively installed apps are often exposed to attacks and data leakage when sensitive data is shared on consumer cloud storage, social networks, or between apps. Web applications are also prey to attacks because they’re often above the controls provided by network firewalls and IDS/IPS. Protect apps with centralized virtualization security. App virtualization gives you a better way to manage risk by storing and delivering your apps from a central data center or the cloud. Not only does this simplify management for IT, but the architecture is inherently secure because there’s no actual transfer of data. Centralizing your IT resources in the data center with Citrix XenApp™ and XenDesktop™ gives you full control of your app security. Perform operating system patches, hot fixes, and configuration updates on one master image—speeding up testing and roll out. And endpoint—device—based attacks, like memory or RAM scraping, are no longer a threat.
Enable people to work securely and with full productivity beyond physical desks and traditional work hours. Provide secure access to the enterprise apps and data employees and third parties need to get work done, whether they’re in the office, at home, or on the go. And offer people the choice to use any corporate or personal mobile device they choose. Protect sensitive data and intellectual property—things like business plans, patents, financial records, designs, and customer information—from loss and theft by securing access to apps and data across distributed organizations. By centrally managing apps and data, IT can allow controlled access only to the people who need it to do their work. Simplify adherence to compliance regulations by establishing robust monitoring, reporting, and auditing processes. Track user activity across apps, data, and the network. By knowing who is accessing what and when, you can provide proof that you are rigorously enforcing security policies and can easily address new regulations and standards. Make sure your business critical apps and data are always securely available during planned and unexpected business disruptions so people can stay productive.
