Protect Apps and Data with Citrix Solutions
The potential for compromised data is growing rapidly as more people work remotely and applications move to the cloud. With the average cost of a breach at an all-time high of $4.2 million, businesses cannot afford a single overlooked threat.
Increased reliance on personal devices, internet browsers, and unsecured networks is increasing risk. This is particularly true for companies accustomed to relying on VPNs and on-premises security solutions.
Many traditional IT solutions are not capable of protecting against the latest cybersecurity threats. In addition, inefficient security policies can lead to a poor user experience. This can turn routine tasks into tedious and time-consuming processes.
Cybersecurity efforts are becoming increasingly complex. As a result, IT teams are juggling too many security tools to remain operationally effective.
According to a Ponemon study, 83% of businesses say organisational and IT complexity is increasing the risk of security breaches.
It is important to protect users and applications against threats that may breach internet or cloud connections. However, business leaders need a better way to support secure hybrid work without slowing productivity.
With a staggering 92% of reported vulnerabilities originating from applications, it is vital to protect all business applications from known and zero-day attacks, regardless of company size.
Protect Apps and Data Everywhere
More than one-third of businesses have already experienced a ransomware attack or data breach.
Citrix Secure Private Access equips businesses with a modern zero trust approach to protect applications and data. It combines single sign-on (SSO) and adaptive authentication to continually monitor access based on location and device posture.
Solutions such as Citrix Workspace and Citrix Virtual Apps and Desktops equip businesses with modern access control and security analytics. These capabilities help organisations keep breaches at bay.
Citrix Analytics for Security gives IT teams a complete picture of network traffic, users, files, and endpoints.
When used with Citrix Workspace and Citrix Virtual Apps and Desktops, built-in machine learning enables organisations to identify and automatically respond to suspicious activity in real time.
With a personalised risk score assigned to each user based on real-time behaviour, organisations can stay ahead of both internal and external threats long before they lead to breaches.
Citrix Secure Internet Access protects infrastructure and users from compromised internet sites, malware, zero-day attacks, and other external threats.
Citrix ADC provides holistic, layered protection through Citrix Web App and API Protection. Integrated web application firewall (WAF), volumetric distributed denial-of-service (DDoS) protection, and bot management are available through a single cloud service.
This helps ensure the entire application delivery infrastructure remains protected from malicious attack attempts.
Protect Resources at the WAN Edge
Take a comprehensive security approach that supports zero trust without sacrificing performance.
Nearly 50% of all corporate data is stored in the cloud. As workloads move to the cloud, backhauling traffic to data centres can negatively impact the user experience.
To secure the new attack surface created by local internet breakout, organisations need a consolidated SD-WAN solution with strong security at the WAN edge.
A fully integrated edge security stack enables the adoption of local internet breakout and protects against branch-to-branch threat propagation. As a result, organisations can protect the business without inhibiting network performance while delivering a better cloud and SaaS experience.
Protect Users and Apps with Cloud-Delivered Security
It is important to protect users and applications against threats that may breach internet or cloud connections.
In addition to its fully integrated edge security stack, Citrix SD-WAN offers a unified cloud-delivered security and network service called Citrix Secure Internet Access.
Businesses can confidently provide direct internet access (DIA) with protection that extends beyond the branch to remote and mobile users.
Alternatively, organisations can retain their preferred cloud-based security vendor. Citrix SD-WAN can automate connectivity to leading cloud-based secure web gateways for branch environments.
Citrix SD-WAN Orchestrator handles all provisioning. This means the network can connect to local security enforcement points in just a few clicks.
It also provides strong SD-WAN security for users, applications, and data at the branch without compromising the SaaS experience.
Conclusion
Citrix provides a fully integrated edge security stack that enables the adoption of local internet breakout while protecting against branch-to-branch threat propagation.
As a result, organisations can protect the business without inhibiting network performance and deliver a better cloud experience.
Citrix is the only vendor to integrate and provide a turnkey solution that protects applications and data while improving productivity.
By combining cloud-delivered security with secure application access, organisations can strengthen protection across users, devices, applications, and networks.
