Great employee experience starts with taking fewer steps to get important tasks done.  Before we talk office ping pong or Free Taco Tuesdays, effective tools to maximize worker productivity and engagement must be in place. As part of this effort, it’s important to improve the ways at which employees communicate and collaborate.

With the 19.5.5 release of Citrix Secure Mail, we’re giving users quicker access to Secure Mail with a better log-in experience which leverages Azure Active Directory and Microsoft Authenticator App.

With managed apps under Microsoft Intune MDM + MAM mode, end users get single sign-on and skip the time-consuming log-in process to get to their important email. This happens behind the scenes when Secure Mail (whitelisted as a Microsoft approved app) in conjunction with the Microsoft Authenticator app provide secure token-based one-time access (TOTP), with no required passwords and Azure Active Directory as the Identity Provider.

Also in this release is something for the IT administrators— support for Slack EMM. The Slack EMM app is a publically available application that allows IT to control how employees access apps and networks on mobile devices. Slack has created this enterprise version of the Slack app, which allows IT admins to manage corporate accounts and integrate with EMM providers for added security.

With the Slack EMM version, only approved mobile devices can access the application.  Additionally, IT admins can now enforce the use of Slack EMM with Secure Mail for greater security.  When using Slack and Secure Mail together, IT now has the option of selecting regular Slack or Slack for EMM which has additional security controls.
