Protectimus Verifies Compatibility with Citrix Netscaler Gateway

    LONDON, ENGLAND, August 11, 2016 /24-7PressRelease/ -- Protectimus Solutions LLP, a two-factor authentication services provider specializing in both standard projects and custom implementations, has announced that its 2FA system has been deemed Citrix Ready after being successfully verified by experts at Citrix. Protectimus' 2-factor authentication solution is now available to users of Citrix NetScaler Gateway.

Two-factor authentication is a standard in information security and is critical for providing adequate security to partners' and clients' confidential data. Owners and managers of companies using the software systems Citrix NetScaler Gateway 10.1, NetScaler Gateway 10.5, or NetScaler Gateway 11.0 might be interested in learning more.

Statistics show that hacking attempts and data leaks are on the rise year after year. Attackers concentrate their focus on large companies because their servers contain extensive collections of data about their customers and business partners. Besides banks and payment processors, common targets include cellular networks, insurance companies, medical, educational, and government entities, or social networks. Many large enterprises use Citrix Access Gateway (NetScaler Gateway) for remote connections to virtual machines and applications, particularly if they have a wide network of branch offices in different cities. For Protectimus, it is important to provide its clients with a fast and easy way to integrate two-factor authentication into their security systems. That's why the company decided to develop a plugin for integration with Citrix NetScaler Gateway using the protocols RADIUS and SAML.

Two-factor authentication from Protectimus is available both as a cloud service and as a stand-alone solution. Our new and innovative 2FA solution is certified by the industry-wide initiative OATH. In addition to our strong authentication service, they offer software, hardware, and reprogrammable NFC tokens. One-time passwords can also be sent via SMS or e-mail. Protectimus solution supports the data signing function CWYS (Confirm What You See) and intelligent identification, in addition to temporal and geographic filters.

This summer, McAfee is ceasing support of its McAfee One Time Password 2-factor authentication service and has advised their clients to move to alternative 2FA solutions/providers. Protectimus' strong authentication system is an ideal alternative to McAfee, with superior functionality and competitive pricing plans.
