Employees now demand the freedom to work where and how they choose, as well as a smooth, productive experience. IT is responsible for delivering on this while also ensuring security. It’s a tall order to meet. Citrix Systems is extending its secure access solutions to assist with this. Citrix Secure Private Access, a new cloud-delivered, Zero-Trust Network Access (ZTNA) service that protects access to apps and data from managed, unmanaged, and Bring-Your-Own (BYO) devices, was announced by the company. It enables employees to work the way they want in a secure, reliable, and productive manner, wherever they happen to be.
“What employees today want more than anything is a simple experience and technology that just works, without hampering their experience or slowing them down,” said Kyle Davies, Practice Lead, Integrated Technology Architecture, CDW.
IT wants to accommodate what users want, but traditional solutions make it difficult.
“In today’s dynamic enterprise environments, solutions designed to defend static perimeters fall short in protecting critical assets and delivering a good end-user experience,” said John Grady, a cybersecurity analyst at independent research firm ESG.
Further said, “Cloud-delivered zero-trust network access solutions can enhance performance by pushing enforcement to the edge, increase efficiency with centralized policy management, and ultimately improve security through the incorporation of zero trust principles.”
This is exactly what Citrix Secure Private Access is designed to enable.
Citrix Secure Private Access provides simple, contextual access to all apps and data employees need to perform at their best in a consistent, reliable manner by leveraging new adaptive authentication and access policies in conjunction with security controls such as watermarking, preventing clipboard access, protection from keylogger and screen capturing malware, and browser isolation. IT can use the service to:
• Enable security controls to offer flexibility and choice in the devices used to get work done
• Support all access types and work scenarios
• Provide access to users based on zero trust principles of least privilege access
• Ensure safe access to various sorts of applications, including TCP, browser-based, and VDI, across multi-cloud settings.
They may do it in a way that is entirely transparent to employees, allowing them to work without distractions and with the assurance that their data and gadgets are secure.
They can also eliminate the friction and frustration that comes with work, such as the need for employees to manage multiple logins and install multiple endpoint agents, as well as limitations on the devices and locations from which they can connect, by providing instant and seamless access to apps via native browsers or an agent on any device.
“With Citrix, we have found a way to cut through the noise in the modern work environment to deliver a better employee experience, all while making remote work more secure,” said Gilliard Delmiro, Chief Technology Officer at international insurance company HDI.
Also said, “And we have put ourselves on the road to improving productivity and employee satisfaction well into the future.”
Citrix Secure Private Access is also specifically built to support the current, zero-trust approach to app security that remote work settings demand, since it:
Citrix Secure Private Access is the most recent addition to Citrix’s secure access portfolio. When combined with Citrix Secure Internet Access, Citrix SD-WAN, and Citrix Web App and API Protection, Citrix Secure Private Access provides a unified, comprehensive approach to securing apps and data while improving the employee experience and simplifying operations.
