Citrix and the Hybrid Workforce

An office is just one of the places people work today. Many professionals do their jobs from multiple locations, like a lawyer who’s in the court room all day or a doctor who’s visiting patients at the hospital. Citrix helps those people stay connected to the things and people they need to do their job, no matter where they are. They don’t have to go back and forth to their office every time they need to review a client’s case or grab a patient’s medical record. They have everything they need at their fingertips — saving them time, helping them be more productive, and making their jobs easier.

Keeping your Citrix Environment Secure

When it comes to securing access to apps and data, there’s more at stake than protecting against threats and vulnerabilities. For employees to remain productive and engaged, you need to ensure access is hassle-free. While many single-solution providers offer individualized capabilities, such as zero trust network access (ZTNA) OR cloud and web security, the sheer volume of separate policies and monitoring dashboards makes this incredibly complicated for IT to deliver.

That’s why Citrix unifies the full scope of secure access needs into one unified, cloud-delivered stack—so you can simplify day-to-day management while providing an unmatched work-from-anywhere experience. There’s no need for multiple point products or specialized skillsets. Simply rely on one uniform dashboard for full visibility and control. There are browser isolation policies to protect corporate networks from malicious content, adaptive authentication to adjust access from unmanaged and BYO devices, user behavior-based security analytics to detect and prevent threats in real-time—plus a range of security policies, from watermarking and anti-key logging to copying and printing restrictions, to proactively prevent data exfiltration attempts.

This combination of unified secure access and a comprehensive zero trust approach ensures the best, most secure application experience at scale: When you use global cloud service solutions designed for full coverage and resiliency, policies and protections are automatically updated to match the current threat landscape.

What are the most common types of cybersecurity threats?

Cybercriminals have different intentions and goals and may belong to criminal or terrorist organizations. The different types of cybersecurity threats can be divided into three broad categories:

Cybercrime: These can be single actors or groups that attack operating systems for financial reasons or to disrupt operations in an organization.

Cyberattack: Organizations intending to gather information for political gain or disruption are usually behind these types of attacks.

Cyberterrorism: These types of threats are usually politically motivated, intending to undermine information systems to cause panic or fear.

What is the Citrix secure access solution & how can it protect your business?

The secure access solution from Citrix provides a unified stack of cloud-delivered services that allows IT to provide a productive hybrid work environment with zero trust security. It addresses one of the biggest security challenges facing organizations today – as the workforce becomes more distributed, and as more business apps are delivered from the cloud, traditional security architectures that require appliance-based solutions—VPN, SWG, DLP controls and WAF—are proving to be inadequate. These options don’t protect against modern-day threats coming from usage of BYO and unmanaged devices, access to the internet, or attacks looking to exploit apps and APIs. And they can’t scale to meet the demands of modern-day workforce.

Now more than ever, you need solutions capable of securing applications from unauthorized access, application-level threats, browser-based attacks, and more—all without complicating the user experience.
