Citrix helps you put users and customers at the center of your business, ensuring that applications, devices and content are delivered effectively, securely, anywhere, anyplace, anytime. With a unified approach to securing, managing, and monitoring every app, users, devices and content your organization relies on, your employees can be more productive, and you have the flexibility and choice to evolve.

As the way we work continues to evolve, IT teams everywhere are evaluating new risks and developing strategies to keep their employees, data, and networks secure. Most organizations have figured out how to provide access to apps and data for their newly remote workers, but have now recognized how legacy access models may lead to a costly data breach. Many remote workers are also using personal devices for work, compounding security concerns for IT.

In this webinar, we’ll discuss:

- Why legacy access solutions like VPNs don’t meet today’s modern security needs
- The security risks of remote work and personal devices for work
Why organizations are choosing Citrix Workspace to deliver zero trust strategies

Citrix Virtual Apps and Desktops: Cloud Service or On-Premises Upgrades

Today, remote work is the most predominant version of the “new normal.” What that means is that IT organizations must deliver flexible work alternatives that are all about equipping employees anywhere -- and enabling them to seamlessly do their best work at any time, on any device over any network. This new world has made stringent security like zero trust crucial. A zero trust model relies on contextual awareness to adaptively grant access to authorized employees using patterns based on identity, time, and device posture. Zero trust helps mitigate risk and it improves the user experience. Even more compelling, it eliminates the need for traditional VPNs. The catch is that most IT teams already have a remote access solution in place. So how do you make the switch?

Join this webinar to hear tips and best practices from security experts who can help.

- Define your remote access strategy
- Understand gaps with your existing VPN solution
- Augment the existing solution with new use cases like BYO, web and SaaS apps
- Start migration from existing VPN to cloud delivered security solution

Four keys to a successful transition to zero trust network access

As organizations strive to be agile and respond to changes in the business, a balance needs to exist between that speed of change and the security of the assets. Apps and APIs now contain the most valuable and vulnerable digital assets of an organization.  Protection of both monolithic and cloud native or microservices-based apps are vital.
 
During this webinar you will learn best practices to:
•Build an integrated strategy to protect your Apps and APIs on premise and public cloud
•Create a robust security posture for the ingress to apps and between inter-microservices
•Protect assets with Bot mitigation
•Apply a consistent security posture across monolithic and microservices-based apps

Virtualization SHOWDOWN: Citrix Virtual Apps and Desktops beats the competition

There is no question that IT transformation triggers change affecting all aspects of an organization. Minimizing and mitigating the business impact that infrastructure evolution prompts is possible with an established application delivery strategy. Two pivotal components affecting application delivery are migration to cloud infrastructure and containerization/micro-services of apps. 

Unanticipated changes to either component can significantly impact user and customer experience, performance and reliability; ultimately jeopardizing the reputation of a corporate brand. 

This webinar equips DevOps and infrastructure architects alike with a clear strategy on how to:
• Proactively navigate changing IT dynamics 
• Own visibility across your infrastructure 
• Control/manage the experience your users demand

Hybrid Cloud ADC for DevOps

In these trying times of catastrophic business disruptions, IT teams around the world have heroically implemented remote access for millions of displaced employees. But the rules of engagement continue to change as workers’ personal and corporate devices intermingle, introducing an exponentially larger attack surface. Have you developed a long-term strategy for secure remote access?

Using a zero trust approach to deploy a secure digital workspace mitigates risk, providing access policies for the time of authentication and continuing protection while the user is working. Security remains in place across all types of applications in the cloud, on premises, or delivered through SaaS.

How to build a successful Kubernetes cloud native application delivery strategy

Earlier this year, IT teams did a super-human job of rapidly enabling employees to work remotely during the pandemic. The stories were amazing – with some technologists standing up environments in weeks – or even a matter of days. Now, IT leaders realize that “Back-to-Office” isn’t “remote work in reverse.” IT departments have to consider more than just how to support remote and office workers at the same time. It’s more complicated than that given thin IT budgets, new post-COVID-19 requirements, and new employee perspectives on what a great technology experience really is. The new normal requires efficient technology infrastructure that facilitates employee productivity, keeps business data and intellectual property secure, and allows IT departments to be agile enough to seize opportunities. IT needs to be able to respond to whatever comes next.  Take 30 minutes to learn five heroic measures you can take -- cost effectively – to support this next phase of work.

- Provide a unified work experience no matter where work gets done.
- Develop an endpoint device strategy that reduces costs.
- Rethink security with a zero trust approach.
- Reduce onboarding costs for all workers, including gig workers and contractors.
Give yourself options for scalable, flexible deployment.

Five Heroic Measures IT Teams Must Take to Navigate the “Back to Office” Phase

There was a time when using point products to manage an enterprise IT environment was the norm – and for the most part, the plan actually worked. One component came from this vendor, another from a competitor, and something else from a different supplier entirely. Cobbled together, these products were the basis of what was a “solution” of sorts, an answer that alleviated some of the pain felt by CIOs.  
 
But today is a new day in the life of IT leaders. The flow of information has grown out of control, an ever-demanding list of changes comes in every 24 hours, and five generations populate the same corporate workforces – each group having a different workstyle and different needs and wants.
 
In this 30-minute webinar, you’ll hear from a VP of IT that understands these challenges intimately.
 
•See how a single platform approach changes the game
•Learn why a more modern digital workspace solution offers more choice and flexibility
•Hear about the “day in the life” of an IT leader at Citrix, a leading workspace provider
