Citrix has launched a new analytics service to provide visibility into user and entity behaviour, system security, performance and operations.
Using machine learning and artificial intelligence to detect anomalous behaviour and potential threats, Citrix claims it is now able to deliver ‘actionable intelligence’ from the information gathered via its cloud services and on premises products, helping customers proactively identify and manage internal and external threats.
Citrix Analytics securely aggregates and correlates user interaction with applications, devices, networks and data across its suite of products and cloud services to help detect and prevent malicious activity and data exfiltration.
It also allows organisations to monitor and manage data movement across endpoints, datacenter, mobile, hybrid and multi-clouds. This visibility into data logging and access requests helps the company’s customers understand data flows to meet their security and oversight obligations under several security standards and regulations, including HIPAA, Sarbanes-Oxley (SOX), and GDPR.
“With GDPR only a month away, companies must focus on knowing where their data is, who has access to it and implementing appropriate technical and organizational security controls. The Citrix Analytics service helps our customers design security into their systems and monitor the security of their data on an ongoing basis,” Peter Lefkowitz, Citrix chief privacy and digital risk officer.
The service also offers behavioural to give organisations a proactive way to monitor, detect and flag behaviours that fall outside the norm, including mitigation of phishing and ransomware attacks.
Stan Black, Citrix chief security and information officer, added: “ The Citrix Analytics service uses machine learning and AI to give each customer unique insight into their organization including where their data is within the environment and who is trying access it at all times. Customers can use this insight to help proactively defend against attacks and flag anomalous behavior to protect against data exfiltration.”
Citrix solutions are in use by more than 400,000 organisations including 99% of the Fortune 100 and 98% of the Fortune 500.
