Company enables new capabilities to easily
apply people-centric security policies across branches and
applications
The days of manually applying security policies across branch
locations are officially over. At least for customers of Citrix
Systems, Inc. (NASDAQ: CTXS). The company today announced
next-generation capabilities within its SD-WAN solution that enable
enterprises to easily administer user-centric policies and connect
branch employees to applications in the cloud with greater security
and reliability.
“Today’s enterprise is more distributed than ever, requiring IT
to provide secure access to corporate systems and data across
multiple locations, networks and clouds,” said Chalan Aras, Vice
President, SD-WAN and Intelligent Traffic Management, Citrix. “In
the past, this meant manually applying security policies across
branch locations. With enhanced security features delivered as part
of Citrix® SD-WAN companies can now easily extend user-centric
policies to the branch and connect employees to applications in the
cloud with a few clicks.”
Simplified Branch Networking
Citrix SD-WAN helps enterprises deliver a reliable,
high-performance workspace experience when accessing SaaS apps,
cloud workloads, virtual apps and desktops or traditional data
center resources. With Citrix SD-WAN, enterprises can:
- Simplify branch networking by
converging WAN edge capabilities, including built-in stateful
firewall, WAN Optimization and more.
- Define security zones to apply
different policies for different users.
- Provide integrated, single sign-on,
remote access and content inspection in a single solution.
- Easily on-board, manage and monitor
services.
- Confidently break out internet traffic
from branches to optimize WAN resources.
Easy Administration
By integrating with a series of third-party APIs, Citrix allows
enterprises to take security to the next level and:
- Synchronize location information with
the Citrix SD-WAN management plane.
- Establish IPsec tunnels between
branches and security enforcement points for traffic inspection and
threat prevention with high availability.
- Automatically apply controls to protect
users and applications whether they are connecting to SaaS
applications or services over the internet.
“With the API integration between Citrix SD-WAN and the Zscaler
Cloud Security Platform, enterprises can enable secure local
breakouts for applications and resources hosted on the Internet
simplifying operations, lowering cost and complexity and ultimately
providing a fast and secure user experience,” said Punit Minocha,
Senior Vice President of business and corporate development,
Zscaler.
Zscaler is part of a robust global ecosystem of Citrix SD-WAN
technology partners helping large enterprises and SMBs alike
securely transition to the cloud and simplify branch networking and
the first to enable Citrix’s new integration capabilities.
“Companies today demand flexibility and choice in how they
defend their networks,” Aras said. “Our new API integrations are
designed to provide this and enable them to accelerate their cloud
migrations in an efficient and cost-effective way.”
