Reduce risk, boosting resiliency and efficiency
Citrix has developed solutions that enhance data protection and enable rapid recovery from security incidents, ensuring better business continuity.
As remote and hybrid work extends beyond the firewall, Citrix's security solutions, such as Zero Trust Network Access, restrict unauthorized access and mitigate potential threats from both internal and external users.
NetScaler (formally known as Citrix NetScaler), positioned outside the firewall, not only adds an extra layer of security but also enhances network optimization through load balancing of data center usage, encrypting in-motion data, limiting data sharing, and enabling Single Sign-On to improve user performance.
Citrix Analytics enhances security and compliance, delivers actionable insights, and proactively counters potential threats in real-time.
