Modern Zero trust deployment with Citrix
In this session, we’ll explore how to apply Zero Trust principles to protect your critical business applications in Citrix environments 🌐, whether they are Virtual Apps and Desktops 💻, Web Apps 🌍, or Client-Server Applications 🖥️.
The focus will be on three key areas:
1. Zero Trust with Device Posture 🔐: Discover how access to business applications can be dynamically adjusted depending on the device’s context. We’ll show how to provide secure access and protection for both BYOD and corporate devices 📱💼.
2. Conditional Authentication 🔑: Learn how to configure multiple identity providers (IdPs) and enhance authentication processes with conditions based on:
Domain name and UPN 🌍
Group membership 👥
Workspace URL 🏢
Use Cases:
Mergers & Acquisitions: Seamlessly integrate smaller companies within a larger organization 🤝.
Third-Party Access: Easily grant Workspace access to contractors and partners 🔄.
Large Organizations: Tailor authentication for different departments or branches 🏢.
3. Citrix Cloud B2B contractors use case☁️: We’ll cover how to integrate Citrix Cloud with B2B SAML to provide secure access to VDI, SaaS, and internal web apps to external users/contractors🔗.
This session will help you implement flexible, secure, and dynamic authentication mechanisms in your Citrix environment while enhancing the user experience 🚀.
Amazon Workspace Core as a cloud PC for Enterprises
Description
This session will present the Amazon Workspace Core native solution and all the advantages this platform can bring after the Amazon-Microsoft partnership to run M365 apps supported by a cloud provider outside of Azure.
https://aws.amazon.com/about-aws/whats-new/2023/08/amazon-workspaces-microsoft-365-apps/
Also the benefits of a flat rate cloud PC monthly subscription or pay-per-hour usage Amazon Workspace can provide for this product and a comparison with AVD/W365.
I will demo the native access using Amazon WSP proprietary protocol.
Lastly, I will talk about the Amazon Workspace Core Citrix integration including a success case for a financial company in Dublin that is implementing 1700 Amazon Workspaces Core Virtual desktops using this technology for developers.
I can also provide a live demo/recording of the end-user experience for the above use case. I have it published on LinkedIn:

In this session, we will discuss all the new Citrix Cloud Modern Technologies to enable pure Azure Active Directory deployments.
A big advantage of these scenarios is that the Citrix Cloud Connector component is not required (connectorless) and also there is no need for any traditional on-prem resources including any ADDS (Active Directory Domain Services).
