Secure access to sensitive business data

Citrix Access Gateway is a secure application access solution that provides administrators granular application-level control while empowering users with remote access from anywhere. It gives IT administrators a single point to manage access control and limit actions within sessions based on both user identity and the endpoint device, providing better application security, data protection, and compliance management.

Leading SSL VPN performance and scalability

Citrix Access Gateway offers industry-leading performance and scalability with appliance solutions that scale to more than 10,000 concurrent users per device. When deployed in conjunction with Citrix Branch Repeater, Access Gateway provides accelerated access to secure virtual desktops and applications for users. Access Gateway is available as both physical and virtual appliances, giving administrators greater flexibility and more deployment options to meet their secure application access requirements.
