FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla.–(BUSINESS WIRE)–Business today is more global and collaborative than ever. People work anywhere, anytime on any number of devices. And they access and share information and ideas across systems and borders. This promises new levels of productivity and innovation that can transform entire industries – and even create new ones. But it also introduces new risks via an expanded attack surface that companies must vigilantly guard against. And†Citrix Systems, Inc.†(NASDAQ: CTXS) is expanding its network protection capabilities to help them do this. The company today announced that it is collaborating with global cybersecurity leader Palo Alto Networks to enable easy deployment and management of next-generation firewalls within†CitrixÆ SD-WAN, providing companies with added layers of security to protect their assets at branches and beyond.
