Citrix is focused on delivering digital workspace solutions that enhance employee experience, especially for remote workers. As a Citrix employee, I benefit greatly from using our own products as the foundation of my daily work routine. As you can see from the image below, everything I need to get work done is right at my fingertips, delivered through a single user interface (UI).

Citrix Workspace enables me to access all my applications, virtual desktops, distributed file stores, integrated SaaS workflows, and more securely, from any device and/or location. There are many reasons Citrix is a great place to work, but having access to our own innovative products and solutions is at the top of my list.

A great work experience leads to engaged, productive employees who are can do their best work. This past month, Citrix received numerous awards and recognition for being one of the best places to work.

This industry recognition is great validation that not only is Citrix a leader at providing employee experience solutions for our customers, but also for our own employees.

In April, our team of Workspace engineers added some great new features to help secure modern applications and user endpoints. Let’s take a look:

Added Security for SaaS and Web Apps with Web Isolation Policy

Enterprises want to ensure that internal corporate apps being accessed securely via a VPN-less solution aren’t leaving behind sensitive information on end users’ devices, even after the apps have been closed. Our new Open SaaS/web apps in remote browser isolation policy in Citrix Secure Workspace Access helps to address this concern.

With this new policy, organizations can ensure that sensitive corporate apps and SaaS apps always open in the hosted Citrix Secure Browser service, completely isolating malware and browser-based threats and ensuring that corporate application data does not get left behind on the device. The browser is stateless and discarded at the end of each session.
