Citrix Secure Access client

With the Citrix Secure Private Access client you can now access all private apps including TCP/UDP and HTTPS/HTTP apps either using a native browser or a native client application via the Citrix Secure Access client running on your machine.

With the additional support of TCP/UDP applications within Citrix Secure Private Access, you can now eliminate the dependency on a traditional VPN solution to provide access to all private apps for remote users.

How it works

End users can easily access all their sanctioned private apps by just installing the Citrix Secure Access client on their client devices.
