Citrix Application Security
Control the Door to the Data Center
In today’s online environment seething with viruses and malicious users, businesses must assume that all access devices are dangerous, all networks are dirty, and all access attempts are hostile. The Citrix Access Platform’s built-in intelligence - Citrix SmartAccess™ - can sense who and where a user is, including device and network, then respond with the appropriate degree of access, balancing user freedom and IT control.
Citrix offers a powerful and broad line of application security solutions to control the first mile of access, which connects the user to the door of the data center.
Industry’s Fastest Growing SSL VPN
It starts with Citrix Access Gateway, a universal SSL VPN appliance that provides a single, secure, always-on point-of-access from anywhere, over public networks, to any enterprise resource. The Access Gateway, introduced in early 2005, is the fastest-growing SSL VPN solution in the industry, #1 in units shipped during the year.
Leading Enterprise Single Sign-On
Next come passwords - carelessly managed by many users, creating a huge hole in an organization’s security shield. Citrix Password Manager, the market-leading single sign-on (SSO) solution and the only one with security certification from Foundstone, both makes it easier for users to manage their passwords - since they need only a single logon - and makes it possible for IT administrators to exert far tighter centralized control over the organization’s password environment and usage.
Best-in-class Web and XML Security
Next in the first mile of access comes application security. Delivering secure Web applications, in particular, is challenging because Web vulnerabilities are generally easy to exploit and up to 75% of hacker attacks now target application vulnerabilities. Citrix Application Firewall, the market-leading web application security solution, defends against all types of emerging Web security threats, even using a positive security model to enforce "correct" application behavior.
