New Release Empowers Highly Regulated
Organizations to Boost Mobile Productivity and Embrace Device
Diversity while Maintaining Security
Citrix today announced new security and feature enhancements to
the Citrix XenMobile® solution. The new release empowers
organizations in highly regulated industries, such as government
agencies, to embrace device choice, improve productivity with quick
access to more apps, and provide support for Microsoft Lync online
meetings and other communication environments, without sacrificing
security, control and most importantly, user experience. Citrix
also enables enterprises and government agencies that are planning
to phase out BlackBerry devices to transition smoothly, knowing
their data and existing apps are secure, integrated and
supported.
Mobility is redefining the way people work and the way IT
departments support them. For many organizations, the growth of
mobile devices and applications is largely driven by employees'
desire to be more productive. While the new era of mobile computing
offers opportunities for organizations to boost worker productivity
and employee satisfaction through programs, such as bring your own
device (BYOD) or corporate-owned, personally enabled (COPE),
governments and other highly regulated industries face the
challenge of finding cost-effective enterprise mobility management
(EMM) solutions that will meet their security and compliance
requirements while providing a solid user experience.
XenMobile enables government agencies and other highly regulated
organizations to mobilize their employees without sacrificing
security or control. The security and feature enhancements to
XenMobile include:
- FIPS 140-2 compliant encryption for
mobile apps, including secure email, browser and content
collaboration. XenMobile creates a secure encrypted vault for
application data on mobile devices so that government and
enterprise workers can access critical documents and applications
securely.
- Better-than-native secure mobile email,
calendar and contacts through the WorxMail™ app with FIPS compliant
encryption for data at rest and data in motion. New enhancements
include one-click access to leading communication and collaboration
apps, such as Microsoft Lync, the FaceTime app, and SMS messaging
directly from WorxMail calendar and contacts.
- Support for a variety of email and
collaboration solutions, such as existing systems like the IBM
Lotus Notes client. Government workers also have secure mobile
intranet access with single sign-on (SSO) to portals and SharePoint
sites using the WorxWeb™ app, a containerized browser with full
policy control.
- Support for newly launched Apple iOS
7.1 and Microsoft Windows 8.1 operating systems, allowing devices
with these new operating systems to be managed and controlled with
XenMobile. XenMobile also adds VPN support for Amazon Kindle
devices, enabling them to connect to corporate environments.
XenMobile provides a complete EMM solution for highly regulated
organizations to manage mobile apps, data and devices. With
XenMobile, government agencies and enterprises gain control over
personal and corporate-issued mobile devices with full
configuration, security, provisioning and support capabilities.
This also includes visibility into currently deployed BlackBerry
devices. XenMobile meets IT departments’ need for mobile security,
compliance and control while allowing employees new ways to work
better.
Quotes
Chris Chambers, Deputy Chief Information Officer, California
Department of Justice
“Our agents are much happier with Citrix XenMobile. With fast
access to information anywhere they need it, they can catch more
criminals, find more missing people, close more cases and get home
quicker. We’re finding ways to work smarter and get more out of our
staff than we have ever been able to before. Citrix XenMobile is a
game changer for us.”
Brian Abrahamson, Chief Information Officer, Department of
Energy’s Pacific Northwest National Laboratory
“BYOD is happening with or without IT. Our staffs have
secure access to important apps and data on their mobile
devices anywhere anytime, enabling us to increase research
productivity and operational effectiveness. This has had a huge
positive impact on our organization, and has positioned IT
more favorably with staff than any deployment in recent
history. It's about IT meeting staff on their terms, and
recognizing the paradigm shift in how enterprise users expect to
consume information and interact with the workplace.”
Steve Brasen, Managing Research Director, Enterprise
Management Associates
“With the new Citrix XenMobile release, a broader audience of
end users is empowered with the freedom to use the devices they
prefer in the manner best suited to maximize their productivity
without compromising stringent enterprise security and compliance
requirements. No longer will employees be forced to always carry
two separate mobile devices – a business device and a personal
device – to perform tasks that are more effectively accommodated by
one.”
Tom Simmons, Area Vice President, U.S. Public Sector,
Citrix
“Mobility is one of the top three hot topics in government today
and the need for a secure, flexible enterprise solution is a
reality. That need is transforming IT in government to address the
use of both government-furnished devices and BYOD programs. By
embracing these mobility trends, agencies can improve employee
productivity and job satisfaction while taking advantage of the
latest in device and service-provider technologies. Citrix
XenMobile enables the management of the devices and the mobile
applications, and when paired with other Citrix technologies that
expose applications, IT resources and workspaces to these devices,
provides the most complete EMM solution for government.”
