Back in the day, any systems admin would have loved to have had access to a tool like Citrix Analytics. Today, it’s a reality and is available for everyone.
One of the best things about Citrix Analytics is how simple it is to manage. But don’t let its simplicity fool you. It delivers visibility that enables IT admins to proactively handle user security threats, improve application performance, and optimize IT operations, all from a single pane of glass.
Security threats abound, and organizations have to monitor their infrastructure closely so they can detect any problematic activities. Citrix Analytics delivers predictive and prescriptive insights that span the Citrix portfolio (Citrix Virtual Apps and Desktops, Citrix Endpoint Management, Citrix Content Collaboration, and our Networking products). And the best part is all of this is available for customers with on-premises, cloud, or hybrid infrastructures. Your infrastructure, your choice!
Sound too good to be true? Try it out for yourself and see! Citrix Analytics uses artificial intelligence and machine learning to help you detect risks in your infrastructure.
Citrix Analytics can help you:
- Detect and analyze threats based on user behavior across the Citrix portfolio
- Remediate and prevent data loss from malicious insiders and external attackers
- Track and set risk scores for users, uncovering risky users by URL and application access
- Minimize false positives by analyzing incidents from different vantage points
With Citrix Analytics you can monitor risks across our product portfolio, including:
- Citrix Content Collaboration (file centered)
- Citrix Endpoint Management (device centered)
- Citrix Virtual Apps and Desktops (user-session centered)
- Citrix ADC (access centered)
Citrix Analytics will create a user profile by using machine learning to collect all the information surrounding each user. It will also create a risk score, which shows the level of risk a user represents based on their behavior. These risk profiles are unique to each individual and organization and can change based on behaviors or interactions with the environment. Using this information, Citrix Analytics can start making decisions depending on the policies or actions you, as an admin, ask to perform.
The more information and users analyzed over time, the more powerful Citrix Analytics becomes for you. If you integrate it with Active Directory, it will create a more dynamic user profile, including number of devices enrolled, locations, data usage, and apps and desktops used. We recommend you connect your Active Directory and import user information and user groups available in your organization’s domain to Citrix Analytics.
