With users remotely accessing their virtual applications and desktops from anywhere, security of the data must extend beyond your corporate network to the user device. To ensure a seamless user experience in a multi-VDI environment, you need a single sign-on solution for all of your applications and desktops.
Citrix Gateway provides secure access to Citrix Virtual Apps and Desktops applications, giving users single sign-on (SSO) access to all applications and virtual desktops through a single URL. IT administrators can apply contextual security policies to control access to applications based on the state and posture of the end user device.
Citrix Gateway support for the latest StoreFront theme means that any changes to the StoreFront UI are automatically applied to the Gateway portal and vice versa. This provides a consistent user experience and easier management for admins.
In addition, Citrix Gateway allows users to reset their passwords from the Gateway portal itself, removing dependencies on support and reducing costly password resets.
Citrix Gateway provides support for HDX Adaptive Transport technology that improves delivery of Citrix Virtual Apps and Desktops traffic in low or challenging bandwidth situations. To ensure the best user experience, Citrix Gateway grooms ICA transport over less-than-desirable network paths.
Only Citrix Gateway and Citrix Application Delivery Management provide visibility of all ICA traffic traveling through Citrix Gateway. This allows customers to identify and troubleshoot any network issues that are affecting end user experience and performance of Citrix Virtual Apps and Desktops applications.
Citrix Gateway provides SmartAccess and SmartControl policies that provide flexibility to balance user convenience with risk. This provides IT with flexibility to configure the right amount of access needed based on a person’s role or location, the device type, and the sensitivity of the resource being requested. SmartControl centralizes policy management on Citrix Gateway, strengthening access control at the network layer before the user reaches the backend resource.
Citrix Gateway provides secure delivery of Microsoft RDP/RDS. On establishing a full SSL VPN tunnel, users can access their remote desktops through a browser. Citrix Gateway provides SSO across all applications and RDP/RDS applications to improve the user experience. Granular access control and multi-factor authentication allow IT to implement strict control over access to RDP/RDS resources.
With integration of Citrix Application Delivery Management, Citrix Gateway provides visibility into Microsoft RDP/RDS traffic. Citrix Gateway Insight provides information on any user logon issues or application launch failures related to Microsoft RDP/RDS sessions.
Citrix Gateway provides an enhanced and flexible approach to VDI security by allowing you to configure multiple authentication steps to access confidential data based on user role, location, device state, and more. It supports LDAP, RADIUS, TACACS, Diameter, and SAML2.0 authentication mechanisms, among others.
Citrix Gateway extends compliance to the endpoint by providing secure access to VMware Horizon View virtual desktops. Users can access VMware Horizon View virtual desktops and other enterprise applications through Citrix Gateway. Support for multi-factor authentication allows IT to properly identify users and allow access to a backend host. GSLB and high availability mean that access to VMware Horizon View virtual desktops is always reliable.
