Citrix Systems has announced the launch of Citrix Secure Private Access, a new cloud-delivered, Zero-Trust Network Access (ZTNA) service that protects access to apps and data from managed, unmanaged and Bring-Your-Own (BYO) devices, enabling employees to work the way they want in a secure, reliable and productive manner, wherever they happen to be.
Leveraging new adaptive authentication and access policies in conjunction with security controls, including watermarking, preventing clipboard access, protection from keylogger and screen capturing malware and browser isolation, Citrix Secure Private Access provides simple, contextual access to all apps and data employees need to perform at their best in a consistent, reliable manner. Using the service, IT can:
• Provide access to users based on zero trust principles of least privilege access
• Enable security controls to allow flexibility and choice in devices used to get work done
• Support all access types and work scenarios
• Keep access to all application types, including TCP, browser-based and VDI, secure in a unified manner across multi-cloud environments
And they can do it in a way that is completely transparent to employees, allowing them to work free from complexity and distractions with the confidence that their information and devices are safe.
Enhancing the Employee Experience
They can also remove the friction and frustration from work caused by everything from the need for employees to manage multiple logins and install multiple endpoint agents to restrictions on devices they can use and locations they can connect from by providing instant and seamless access to apps using native browsers or using an agent on any device.
Moving to Zero-Trust and Modern IT
Citrix Secure Private Access is also uniquely designed to enable the modern, zero-trust approach to secure apps that remote work environments demand as it:
• Adaptively grants least-privilege access based on user behaviours and access patterns
• Continuously monitors and assesses user activities and automates security controls based on anomalies detected
• Provides unified management and distributed enforcement across the entire environment
Citrix Secure Private Access is the latest addition to Citrix’s portfolio of secure access offerings, which when used in conjunction with Citrix Secure Internet Access, Citrix SD-WAN and Citrix Web App and API Protection, provide a unified, comprehensive approach to securing apps and data while improving the employee experience and simplifying operations.
