RSA announces integration of Citrix Receiver and RSA SecurID
RSA, The Security Division of EMC has announced that its authentication solution, RSA SecurID, has been integrated into the Citrix Receiver virtual desktop software client, allowing organizations to support employee access to enterprise data, applications and desktops from any computing device while helping IT maintain required levels of security and access control.
"The integration of Citrix Receiver and the RSA SecurID soft token is an important step forward in providing convenience for users while maintaining enhanced security for IT. Mobile users are more demanding than ever. The faster and easier it is to access enterprise apps, the larger the productivity gain from mobilizing a company's work force," Chris Fleck, Vice-President, Mobility and Alliances, Citrix Systems.
"Today, organizations are grappling with how best to deliver productivity enhancing business applications to mobile workers while protecting mobile devices and the sensitive information they contain from misuse or mobile malware. Citrix and RSA have a market-ready solution that allows organizations to turn almost any mobile device into a powerful business tool to access virtual applications and desktops. Companies with mobile sales forces, healthcare organizations with sensitive patient care applications and retailers with point-of-sale devices are just a few examples of organizations that can leverage this solution to help ensure only authorized mobile users are allowed access to enterprise applications, data and desktops," said Sam Curry, Chief Technology Officer, Identity and Data Protection, RSA.
Citrix Receiver support for RSA SecurID will be available in December 2011 as a free upgrade to existing Citrix Receiver customers. Android users can preview the RSA SecurID functionality in the Citrix Receiver for Android Beta release available in Android Market. More information is also available at the Citrix Support web site.
