If you’re looking to deliver a experience with work apps for users while significantly improving security, the solution you need might be easier to find than you think. With Citrix Secure Workspace Access (formerly Citrix Access Control), users can access all their SaaS, intranet or corporate web, virtual and mobile apps with single sign-on — and without the VPN performance penalty. It’s also easier to scale and manage than a VPN, and it’s ideal for supporting a zero trust security model. Best of all, it’s included with Citrix Workspace — so if you’re a Workspace customer, you already own it.

Get Better Security without the VPN Penalty

With the rise in remote work, many organizations are dealing with the performance penalty of traditional VPNs — especially when they’re overloaded with surging traffic. And VPNs aren’t much of a security solution; they can leave your whole network open to threats like DDoS, sniffing, and spoofing. Like any perimeter-based tool, they’re poorly suited for the way we work now.

Citrix Secure Workspace Access is designed with zero trust in mind. You can manage access for all your apps from a single location, including virtual, web, and SaaS apps, for consistent security both inside and outside the network. You can also define and enforce contextual security policies for web and SaaS apps to provide the right levels of access without opening external access to the network. Browser isolation via Citrix Secure Browser provides extra protection from phishing and malware attempts coming from apps on a user’s BYO or unmanaged device.

Give People an Easier Way to Get to Work

As people do more of their work outside the office, a simpler, more convenient experience can make a big difference in their productivity. With Citrix Secure Workspace Access, you can let them access all their apps and data with a single sign-on (SSO) experience, from your intranet and SharePoint site to SaaS apps like Salesforce and Workday. Whatever device they’re using — managed, unmanaged, or BYO — they can get into their apps quickly and get to work.

Support Employees Wherever They Work

We’ve learned a lot about geographic unpredictability lately — with employees working in different places than they used to, you have to work quickly to meet changing requirements. You probably already use Citrix Workspace to provide instant access to resources from anywhere without having to make new datacenter investments. Citrix Secure Workspace Access complements that capability by providing point of presence (POP) locations around the world for fast scalability.

Another Way to Improve Performance and Security

While you’re using Citrix Secure Workspace Access to provide a better experience wherever people work, make sure you’re also considering what’s possible with your existing Citrix Analytics entitlement. Citrix Analytics for Performance turns data into insights to track the performance of Citrix Virtual Apps and Desktops and helps you to troubleshoot failures, screen lags, delayed session launches, and other issues. Citrix Analytics for Security lets you assess, detect, and prevent risks in real-time with built-in machine learning. And like Citrix Secure Workspace Access, Citrix Analytics is included with Citrix Workspace, so you can start using it whenever you like.
