Secure access for sovereign and air-gapped clouds – without surrendering control
Public sector organizations are under growing pressure to modernize IT environments while operating within some of the most demanding security, compliance, and sovereignty constraints in the world. Citrix Platform for Public Sector is engineered to deliver secure access to applications and data for environments operating within FedRAMP High/IL5, sovereign cloud, or air‑gapped/IL6+ environments, while preserving agency ownership of the cloud tenant and data boundary.
Top secure access benefits for public sector missions
Modernize secure access within FedRAMP High, sovereign, and air-gapped environments
Deploy a security-first access platform built for stringent controls, allowing mission users to reach applications and data without weakening sovereignty or expanding exposure.
Break “compliance paralysis” without rewriting sovereignty rules
Use a Commercial Off-The-Shelf (COTS) architecture and a “Fed‑first” control posture to reduce rework and keep modernization aligned to governance expectations rather than fighting them.
Secure remote work and third-party access with policy enforcement
Extend agency policy into the access layer to reduce data exfiltration risk during remote work, temporary duty assignments, and contractor scenarios, without sacrificing mission usability.
Standardize across security domains with network parity
Run the platform across unclassified and classified networks, commercial/gov, sovereign/air‑gapped, field sites and remote stations to reduce fragmentation and the “environment tax.”
Modernize on your terms (hybrid, multi-cloud, or on-premises)
Support access to apps and data hosted on-premises or in any cloud, multi-cloud, or hybrid environments, without being forced into a single-cloud bet or abandoning existing investments.
Accelerate time-to-production while reducing internal burden
Avoid the drag of traditional cloud-service accreditation and shift platform operations (build/run/patch/scale/optimize) into a Citrix-managed delivery model, freeing constrained teams to focus on mission priorities.
A security-first platform for high-assurance environments
Single-tenant segregation – because the boundary is the control
In government environments, data boundaries are foundational. Citrix Platform for Public Sector uses a single-tenant design intended to keep compute, storage, and networking segregated, thereby strengthening accountability, reducing concerns about data mixing, and minimizing shared-service assumptions that complicate risk reviews.
Reduce blast radius by design, not by exception handling.
Simplify governance posture with clear isolation boundaries.
Government-grade security engineering, delivered through repeatable automation
Instead of retrofitting controls later, the platform emphasizes compliance-by-design through a regulatory-first development approach to meet strict security and governance standards from the beginning. It’s delivered with fully automated, best practice-aligned deployment: predictable and consistent configuration, tighter change control, and reduced drift over time.
Shorten accreditation cycles by reducing rework.
Stabilize posture over time with evergreen updates and predictable release notifications.
ZTNA secure access with policy enforcement where missions need it.
The platform’s mission is to deliver virtual desktop, networking, and ZTNA secure access technologies, providing ultra-secure access to applications and data while enforcing agency policy. It supports Data Loss Prevention (DLP) and policy controls that help prevent sensitive data exfiltration during remote and third-party access scenarios. All while delivering the best user experience in all network conditions.
Modern cloud, national control: Secure access without compromising sovereignty
Citrix Platform for Public Sector is different from traditional cloud services: the customer owns the cloud tenant and all their data, while the underlying infrastructure is built and managed by in-country Citrix employees, contractors, or partners with the highest level of security clearance. This approach reduces operational burden, sustains compliance, and maintains isolation boundaries. Parity across platforms and networks, with automated, consistent operations, security, and governance-ready change management, gives agencies full control. This model modernizes secure access without the fear of losing data sovereignty that many agencies associate with traditional cloud services.
Own the boundary. Standardize the controls. Keep the mission moving.
FAQ
