Secure Mobile Collaboration with Citrix Xenmobile and Sharefile
White Paper Secure Mobile Collaboration with Citrix XenMobile and ShareFile citrix.com White Paper Enterprise Mobility Management Mobile devices and BYOD have brought unprecedented agility to the enterprise, allowing users to collaborate, access information and get serious work done any time, from almost anywhere on the planet. Along with this mobile user freedom and agility, however, have come unprecedented security challenges. Mobile devices and BYOD have brought unprecedented agility to the enterprise, allowing users to collaborate, access information and get serious work done any time, from almost anywhere on the planet. Along with this mobile user freedom and agility, however, have come unprecedented security challenges. Any time users store sensitive enterprise information on their laptops, smart phones or tablets, they subject it to theft or exposure if those devices are ever lost, stolen, or connected over insecure WiFi networks or the Internet. When users mix personal and work lives on the same device, they risk insecure personal applications and mixed personal and work data leading to sensitive data loss and theft. This could happen either advertently or inadvertently, when, for example, users send corporate information in personal emails or browse infected Web sites that introduce malware into the corporate network. When mobile users take advantage of consumer file sharing services such as DropBox and Box, they take a risk as well, as these services were not built with enterprise management and security in mind. Even those that have enterprise features are not as manageable and tightly integrated with enterprise mobile security solutions as they should be. Conversely, if IT imposes draconian security policies and monitors personal mobile devices and data it risks impeding employee productivity and agility. -
Protecting Mobile Apps with Citrix Xenmobile and MDX
White Paper Protecting Mobile Apps with Citrix XenMobile and MDX citrix.com White Paper Protecting Mobile Apps with Citrix XenMobile and MDX Mobility is a top priority for organizations as more employees demand access to the apps and data that will make them productive. Employees want access from any mobile device, including their own personal devices. In addition, the apps that people need to get their jobs done have expanded beyond mobile email to include Windows, web and native mobile apps, both in the cloud and in the datacenter. Often, these apps are broadly distributed across different locations. However, allowing users to access all of their apps and data from untrusted devices raises significant security and network scalability concerns. Depending upon their level of mobile adoption, enterprises have traditionally turned to either mobile device management (MDM) solutions to manage the devices. However, with the adoption of BYOD, most companies now require, Mobile Application Management (MAM) to protect application data. Enterprise Mobility Management (EMM) is the combination of MDM and MAM. While there are many Enterprise Mobility Management (EMM) provides that provide MAM capabilities, vendors take different approaches to protecting application data. Some require device enrolment. This approach, particularly for BYO users is very intrusive as it requires the use of a device passcode. Citrix’s EMM solution, XenMobile offers comprehensive MAM capabilities that no other EMM vendor can match in terms of features and scalability. As an example, some vendors offer a subset of XenMobile’s Mobile Application Management (MAM) policies or require such extensive re-writing of an application that they become difficult to implement and maintain. -

Citrix Secure Email Deployment Guide White Paper
Citrix Secure Email Deployment Guide White Paper Citrix secure email deployment guide Facilitating email collaboration citrix.com Citrix Secure Email Deployment Guide White Paper 2 Introduction Intelligent mobile devices are a growing component of daily business activity. In fact, more tablets and smartphones are sold each month than PCs and laptops. The average business information worker uses three devices every day, one of which they typically own. The BYOD trend will certainly continue; by 2015 it is estimated1 that the number of portable devices in the enterprise will be three times that of laptops and desktops. Their cost, portability and exclusive WiFi connectivity, however, leaves them particularly vulnerable to theft, data leakage, and WiFi snooping. Apps are a particular point of concern. In a survey by Nielsen2, smartphone users were found to have installed an average of more than 40 applications. Most apps have permission to send data to the Internet. Yet, smartphones and tablets have an undeniable business value. That value, however, needs to be balanced against the risks associated with their use. Uncontrolled use of mobile apps, including built-in iOS and Android mail clients, allows local storage of emails and associated attachments that could result in loss or exposure of confidential information. A non-password protected device or well- timed theft would allow a thief to impersonate the owner. For these reasons, many companies place restrictions on the use of mobile devices and apps and the most paranoid companies even forbid their use. Several alternatives, each with some level of security and convenience, are available to IT departments to secure access to email and associated information. -

Aldhamen Public Authority and Applied Education, High Institute of Telecommunication and Navigation, Computer Department, Kuwait. Abstract: Citrix Systems, Inc. is an American multinational software company that supply server, application and desktop virtualization, networking, software as a service (SaaS), and cloud computing technologies. It was founded in Richardson, Texas in 1989 by a group of ex-IBM developers. The name Citrix is a combination of Unix and Citrus since its founder Ed Iacobucci moved the company from southern Florida to its new headquarters. Ed Iacobucci served as chairman until his departure in 2000. Citrix solutions are based on virtualization and cloud computing technologies that can grant various benefits and great efficiency in CPU utilization, green IT environments with low power consumption, central control, more availability, reduces project timelines by eliminating hardware procurement, improves disaster recovery capabilities, more central control of the desktop, and improve outsourcing services. Keywords: Citrix Systems, XenServer, Cloud Suite, NetScaler, Virtual Desktops. INTRODUCTION There have been numerous prominent instances of security breaches and attacks. There is no indication of this relenting, embracing the need to consider security at the design phase, to constantly screen and go along to security threats and to get ready and bolster the environment in like manner. Security intricacy increments with the rise and utilization of more sorts of devices (cell phones, tablets, and web-empowered devices) and extra network systems, (for example, 3G/4G, Wi-Fi, and Bluetooth). -
