Citrix® Simplifies Public Sector Purchasing

FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla. – December 3, 2020 – IT purchasing can be a complex process, particularly in the public sector where specific procedures must be followed. But Citrix Systems, Inc.

The company today announced that Citrix Virtual Apps and Desktops version 1912 LTSR Premium Edition has achieved Common Criteria Certification, enabling procurement professionals to buy the solution, now recognized as secure and preferred in 30 countries, in a fast, efficient manner that aligns with their policies.

“This certification shows our ongoing commitment to providing secure software to our customers and brings an elevated level of assurance in cyber security and increased confidence in the network security for our Citrix Virtual Apps and Desktops product line,” said Steve Nguyen, Vice President and General Manager, US Public Sector.
