Citrix is expanding its portfolio of delivering virtual apps, desktops and mobile apps to provide secure access to software-as-a-service (SaaS) apps and content via Citrix Workspace app, creating the first unified digital workspace for business. Citrix says it has the most complete and integrated workspace to enable people to securely access their web, SaaS, Windows, Linux and mobile apps, desktops and files from anywhere and across any device.
“We, at Citrix, are committed to enabling people-centric computing within organisations. We are at a place where mobile users now equal those in a traditional office environment and organisations must deliver a unified work experience. Our solutions deliver the experience, security and choice that people and organisations need to innovate, engage customers and be productive – anytime and anywhere,” said David Henshall, CEO, Citrix.
Citrix Workspace gives users secure, single sign-on (SSO) access to all the applications and content in an intuitive and digital workspace that delivers a consistent and unified experience across all devices – allowing users to start work at home on their tablet, continue to work on their smartphone during their commute, and complete work on their desktop or laptop in the office. Embedded with the company’s proven networking and file-sharing capabilities, Citrix Workspace ensures reliable app performance, integrated search and workflows across apps, and content collaboration regardless of where files are stored. Citrix has also enabled Slack and Citrix Secure Mail to talk to each other, allowing users to convert email messages into Slack conversations and to send Slack messages directly from Secure Mail.
Citrix unifies the experience of SaaS, web, mobile and virtual apps with Citrix Workspace and has now expanded its ability to securely and centrally manage these applications with Citrix Access Control. Unlike traditional single sign-on (SSO) solutions, which provide no visibility, control or governance of data within SaaS and web apps, the cloud app control feature in Citrix Access Control provides SSO capabilities to all SaaS, web and Citrix virtualised apps. This provides granular policy controls like watermarking, restricted copy-paste and can prevent printing.
In addition, Citrix Access Control together with Citrix Analytics provides advanced user behaviour analytics, which helps to intelligently redirect risky Internet browsing activity to a cloud-based virtual browser completely isolated from the corporate network with zero configuration required on the endpoint. This allows enterprises to balance business-oriented browsing with enhanced security.
Citrix Cloud services have been enhanced as well. Customers can now run their Citrix workloads on any cloud – AWS, Azure, Google and Oracle or private. Because Citrix has architected its entire stack on a common platform, customers can easily move workloads from their data centre to the cloud of their choice and back again, as needed, bringing cloud portability within reach of the enterprise.
Citrix is continuing a partnership with Microsoft and will deliver Citrix value-add capabilities on top of Microsoft Remote Desktop Management Infrastructure (RDmi), the next generation remote desktop services (RDS) platform for Azure. Citrix will also provide day-one support for Windows Server 2019 to deliver virtualised apps with XenApp.
Citrix is further enabling choice of devices from a single endpoint management solution. Citrix Endpoint Management provides secure management for everything from wearables and IoT devices like Alexa for Business, to Raspberry Pi-powered workspace hubs from Citrix partners NComputing and Viewsonic.
Citrix’s expanded security approach unifies the Citrix Networking portfolio with Citrix Unified Endpoint Management and Citrix Analytics to deliver a secure digital perimeter that surrounds the user, apps and network for greater visibility and control. The Citrix secure digital perimeter allows IT and chief information security officers (CISOs) centralised security policy controls that are applied dynamically at any access point to minimise and hide attack surfaces that live beyond the data centre, across various devices, apps and content distributed on-premises and in hybrid and multicloud networks.
“Maintaining productivity in an era where new workstyles and applications are dynamically and increasingly complex requires a new approach to delivering the user’s workspace, one that is focused on people, and how they use technology to get their jobs done. The Citrix Workspace is the first unified digital workspace for organisations that simplifies access to apps and data, creating a consistent experience across devices, and that is responsive and adaptive wherever a person is working,” said PJ Hough, Chief Product Officer, Citrix.
