Citrix to deploy desktops to cloud solutions

Hybrid working models have led to more and more organizations deploying virtual desktops. Workforce distribution has resulted in IT teams facing challenges related to network security and data breach.

This is especially true for organizations that have implemented bring your own device (BYOD) programs and allow employees to connect to public networks, as standardizing security across both unsanctioned devices and networks is an extremely difficult task.

This is where solutions like desktop-as-a-service (DaaS) come into picture. Its advanced security capabilities can easily deploy secure remote desktops — allowing for safe and managed access to virtual software applications no matter where employees are working from or what devices they are using.

Citrix managed DaaS solutions supports IT teams protect corporate data and provide easily accessible virtual desktops for remote or mobile employees. Because all corporate data is stored securely in the cloud rather than on individual devices, end users can work securely from anywhere, with any device, on any network.

By separating endpoints and corporate data, your organization’s resources stay protected even if devices are compromised.

DaaS allows for secure remote access to software, apps, and data on virtual desktops hosted in the cloud, as opposed to a virtual desktop infrastructure (VDI) hosted on-premises. One of the main concerns IT teams might have about DaaS security is a perceived lack of control of their company’s data stored in the cloud rather than on on-premises servers.
