Secure remote working with Citrix Desktop as a Service

Systems and solutions that enable secure remote working have never been more important.

Or more valuable to your business.

With more staff than ever now working away from the office, businesses need to equip employees with remote access to a range of programmes, apps, data and more.

It’s imperative they secure their network and any sensitive company data for an increasingly dispersed workforce.

But with remote working, comes increased security threats…

  • Your IT team will likely have less control over staff behaviour when people are working from home, with IT protocol being potentially forgotten or ignored. Employees might unintentionally provide cybercriminals access to their devices or files due to carelessness or lack of knowledge.
  • Employees could be working on an unsecured network, or from their own personal devices, both of which may lack necessary company security measures. Personal and business data may become mixed, exposing each to increased threats.
  • Managing virtual desktop infrastructures also becomes more tricky in a remote environment, with cybercriminals ready and waiting to take advantage of the inevitable increased security vulnerabilities.

A secure remote working solution is paramount. As is access for your staff to an efficient, tailored virtual desktop.

So what’s the answer?

Is Citrix DaaS the virtual desktop solution for you?

Citrix offers a whole range of secure remote working solutions that will allow your company to not only meet but surpass security standards. Hundreds of thousands of organisations worldwide use Citrix to provide a seamless hybrid work experience.

Today though, we want to focus on the Citrix Desktop as a Service solution in particular. We’ll look at how it can enable a premium virtual desktop experience for your team, while also minimising the threat of cyberattacks.

Citrix DaaS allows secure remote access to apps and company data through virtual desktops that are hosted in the cloud (as opposed to a virtual desktop infrastructure or VDI, which is hosted on-premises).

DaaS enables secure access from anywhere in the world. A user can simply go to a page/URL, enter their credentials, and click on an icon to launch their very own Windows desktop.

Behind the scenes, you can set up your core business apps, Office 365 and any other apps you might want your team to access in this desktop set-up. But users only see what’s relevant to them – so someone in the finance team will only see the finance apps they need for example.

It’s a simple and secure way of presenting your users with all of their applications, wherever they are and on whatever device.

If your current remote working set-up isn’t up to scratch, Citrix DaaS is well worth considering. Give us a call to discuss your options.

Benefits of Citrix DaaS

The main priority when setting up remote workers is to ensure they can quickly and seamlessly access a tailored, online desktop solution, from wherever they are in the world.

That is just one of the benefits of Citrix DaaS, and we’ve rounded up some others below:

  • Enhanced data security: With all corporate data stored securely in the cloud rather than on individual devices, your IT team can easily protect it. This separation means that even if a device is compromised, your data won’t be.
  • Easy sign-on and end-user experience: Having layers of security doesn’t mean having to add complexity to your user experience. Staff can make the most of single sign-on (SSO) capabilities to connect them to their virtual desktop.
  • Easy deployment: Organisations can easily deploy remote desktops which are safe and managed – no matter where employees are working from or what device they are working on.
  • Cost reduction: Apps traditionally had to be on people’s devices for them to be able to use them. Now, with only an internet connection, your team can access whatever apps they need, remotely. This means there’s no need for new hardware or hardware refreshes, which will keep your implementation costs down too.
  • Easy updates : Apps can be updated, managed and presented and all from behind the scenes, without interrupting the end-user.
  • Save time, make life easier: You can roll out new desktops in minutes – with no need to set up servers or manage patches and updates.
  • Streamline IT operations: The Citrix cloud management plane allows you to access and manage all your service offerings from a single pane of glass. Easy!

Why should you consider Citrix DaaS?

Citrix DaaS is a simple and easy-to-manage virtual desktop solution. It allows you to deliver DaaS and VDI apps and desktops to any device, over any network.

DaaS will also allow your IT team to be completely hands-off in terms of maintenance and infrastructure if that’s what you’re seeking.

It’s an ideal solution for hybrid environments, which blend public and private clouds and on-premises data centres, making it a good fit for even the most regulated industries.

Secure remote working is no longer optional – can your staff work effectively from home?
