Secure your business with Citrix and Google Chrome Enterprise Premium

In today’s hybrid work environment, your team needs flexible, secure access to the applications that keep your business running. Earlier this year, we announced a deepened partnership with Google to help your business achieve that goal. And now we are excited to share a major step forward in bringing this vision to life: the first integration in this expanded partnership between Citrix and Google Chrome Enterprise Premium is now available.

This integration is a game-changer for how you secure your private web applications. Pairing the most trusted enterprise browser with Citrix Secure Private Access™ enables IT teams to deliver zero-trust access to private web, SaaS, and legacy applications without complex security infrastructure.  

Immediate benefits for your organization

Introducing your organization’s most critical secure access solution. Provide and manage secure access to all enterprise applications without relying on less effective solutions, such as VPNs, all within the familiar and trusted Chrome browser. And in addition to the solution itself, also included in your entitlement is support and services, which other vendors only offer as an add-on.

Here’s a closer look at the benefits:

• Cost-effective security: Streamline the costs and complexities of traditional Virtual Desktop Infrastructure (VDI) for your web applications. The combined solution provides comprehensive, secure access and data protection under a single platform license, helping you save money and reduce overhead.
• Enhanced security posture: With the power of Chrome’s built-in security features combined with Citrix’s Zero Trust Network Access (ZTNA) principles, your private applications are more secure than ever. This integration actively helps prevent phishing attempts, blocks malware, and enforces Data Loss Protection (DLP) restrictions, all while eliminating the need for cumbersome and unreliable VPNs. And by leveraging Chrome, the solution is also patched to protect against vulnerabilities and threats weeks before Chromium-based solutions, and rapidly mitigating high risk situations such as zero-day attacks.
• Simplified access and management: IT teams can enforce security policies and ensure compliance from a unified, secure access point for all application types. And employees get a familiar, user-friendly Chrome experience, making secure access simple and seamless. In the near future, the different management consoles, Chrome Enterprise Premium management to define web security policies and Secure Private Access management to define ZTNA policies, will be unified into one management plane, even further simplifying the management process.

This important first step in our integration comes at a time when businesses are modernizing their application estate—moving from legacy, on-premises applications to more flexible, cloud-delivered and web-based models that users can access from anywhere. Providing security at the endpoint without installing additional software to augment Security Service Edge (SSE) capabilities allows businesses to provide users with flexibility in their work styles, using their preferred devices, while ensuring secure access and data protection. 

The future of secure application access is here, and it’s simpler and more cost-effective than ever. This new offering is available now to all customers as part of the Citrix Platform License.
