Modernising IT Security

Modernising IT Security

The attack surface is expanding fast as more employees work from more locations and applications move to the cloud. One of the biggest challenges is that many traditional IT solutions cannot protect against the latest cybersecurity threats.

Businesses need a modern security approach to keep data secure, regardless of where people work or what devices they use. They must protect applications and data while still fuelling employee productivity.

Many companies’ cybersecurity efforts are becoming overly complex. As a result, most IT teams are juggling too many security tools to remain operationally effective.

Inefficient security policies can lead to a poor user experience. This is the kind of experience that turns routine tasks into tedious, time-consuming processes.

More importantly, it is more than just corporate applications and data that are at risk.

It is time to find a better way to support secure hybrid work without slowing productivity.

Enable Secure Access from Anywhere

IT leaders are adopting hybrid work models. This means users are working on networks IT cannot secure and using devices that are not managed. This creates a significant risk for companies that rely on network-centric solutions such as traditional VPNs.

Insider threats are also a major concern, with many organisations already experiencing ransomware attacks or breaches.

Businesses can continually monitor each individual session with a modern alternative to VPN technology. Citrix offers a zero trust network access solution that lets IT automatically apply security controls based on user risk scores, locations, and device posture.

Citrix DaaS also includes built-in policy controls that add an extra layer of security. These controls help keep data protected across devices, locations, and networks.

Employees gain seamless access to the resources they need, while organisations keep threats away from the network.

Secure All Applications

There are an average of 40 to 60 applications in use by each department within an organisation. As applications increase, so do the complexities.

Each service can have its own authentication method. This not only confuses users but also makes configuration more difficult for IT teams.

Furthermore, with 92% of organisations hosting at least part of their IT environment in the cloud, the risk of a breach remains high.

Businesses need a better way to secure applications, regardless of where they are hosted or how they are deployed.

Citrix Web App and API Protection enables organisations to do this. It protects the entire environment against known and zero-day attacks through application security as a service.

Find and Stop Threats Faster

The potential for compromised accounts is everywhere, especially as employees work from more locations and applications move to the cloud.

Considering the high cost of a breach, businesses cannot afford to overlook a single threat.

Citrix offers solutions that give IT teams a complete picture of network traffic, users, files, and endpoints.

Taking inputs from Citrix Secure Private Access and Citrix DaaS, Citrix Analytics for Security enables organisations to identify and automatically respond to suspicious activity.

With a personalised risk score assigned to each user based on behaviour, organisations can stay ahead of both internal and external threats long before they lead to breaches.

Keep Compliance in Check

Businesses must also stay ahead of evolving regulations and meet strict industry standards.

Citrix solutions use adaptive authentication to determine who receives access based on job roles, locations, and devices.

For example, organisations can lock down confidential customer data when a mobile device leaves a job site. They can also disable specific services, such as copying and pasting, based on compliance checks throughout each session.

Organisations can even record the on-screen activity of any user session across any type of connection. This allows monitoring based on industry requirements when needed.

These and other security features from Citrix DaaS and Citrix Secure Private Access make it easier for companies to meet demanding compliance requirements, including POPIA and GDPR.

Supporting compliance is a key part of a broader cybersecurity strategy and helps organisations maintain control over sensitive information.
