Software company Citrix has expanded its security portfolio.
This week, the US-based company is hosting its Citrix Synergy 2018 event at the Anaheim Convention Centre in California.
Citrix is traditionally known as a provider of server, application and desktop virtualisation, networking, software-as-a-service and cloud computing technologies.
In a keynote address at the event, David Henshall, Citrix president and CEO, said new and ever-increasing threats require modern approaches to security that enhance productivity, not hamper it.
He pointed out that organisations need a holistic approach to security that adapts to the way people work, rather than forcing users to work within security restrictions.
Henshall said Citrix's expanded security approach unifies the company's networking portfolio with Citrix Unified Endpoint Management and Citrix Analytics to deliver a secure digital perimeter that surrounds the user, apps and network for greater visibility and control.
In a statement, the company says the solution secures IT and chief security information officers' centralised security policy controls that are applied dynamically at any access point.
It adds that using machine learning and artificial intelligence to detect anomalous behaviour and potential threats, Citrix Analytics can provide actionable intelligence from the information gathered via its cloud services and on-premises products to help organisations proactively identify and manage internal and external threats.
"Maintaining productivity in an era where new work styles and applications are dynamically and increasingly complex requires a new approach to delivering the user's workspace, one that is focused on people, and how they use technology to get their jobs done," said PJ Hough, chief product officer at Citrix, also speaking at the event.
