Citrix Access Gateway - Easy and Secure Application Access from Anywhere
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. Citrix Access Gateway is the first SSL VPN built to deliver both secure virtual desktops and applications. It also provides standard SSL VPN features to ensure easy access to files, email, and other resources regardless of the user’s location.
Ultimate flexibility in access control and data security
Patent-pending SmartAccess technology allows administrators to manage access control and set policies that define acceptable actions based on user identity and the configuration of the endpoint device. For example, a user may have full access (read, save locally, print, etc.) to a set of files when utilizing her office PC-–but may be restricted to read-only access in less secure remote access scenarios such as connecting through an unrecognized kiosk device. Similarly, if an employee tries to log in to the corporate network via a home PC that does not have an active anti-virus update service, that employee may not be able to access certain mission-critical systems. With SmartAccess, administrators are equiped with ultimate flexibility to develop and implement corporate policies that enforce data and application security.
