When Citrix pioneered remote access, we believed people should be able to securely work from anywhere in any way they needed. Three decades later, that’s more true than ever. It’s what drives us to create technology that transcends the constraints of time, place, infrastructure, networks, and devices. And it’s the reason organizations around the world trust us to keep their apps available, their data safe, and their people productive – wherever and whenever work happens.

Citrix’s advanced virtualization, networking, endpoint, and security solutions have been integral to our customers' strategic goals for over 30 years and have helped define what’s possible in a dynamic, Zero Trust world. Over that time, we’ve continued to develop industry-leading solutions like Citrix DaaS, Citrix Cloud, NetScaler, Unicon, Secure Private Access (SPA), Enterprise Browser, Endpoint Management (MDM/MAM), XenServer, uberAgent, and more.
