Many SMB organizations with Citrix environments pay annually for features they never turn on. Session Recording is a good example. It’s included in Citrix for Private Cloud, Universal Hybrid Multi-Cloud and the Citrix Platform License, it’s mature technology, and yet most companies have it turned off. Not because it is not useful. But because no […]
When the public cloud is no longer the smartest choice Ten years ago, moving to the public cloud seemed like a no-brainer for many organizations. Flexible, scalable, always up-to-date and someone else turns around to manage it. It sounded perfect. And for many workloads, it is. But something has changed in recent years. Organizations are […]
Many organizations have a VPN. But frankly, that thing has worked like an open door for years: anyone who gets through it gets access to the entire network. That used to be acceptable. Now it’s not. Ransomware, data breaches and home workers with unattended laptops have changed the rules of the game. And yet much […]
Imagine this: an employee sees a button in Microsoft Teams that says “Unlock Premium. He clicks it, starts a free trial, then forgets about it completely. A month later, that trial automatically converts to a paid subscription. Times this scenario times ten, twenty or fifty employees, and before you know it, you’re paying hundreds of […]
In many organizations using Citrix, I see the same picture. There are static workstations designed purely to connect to the Citrix environment. Often these are thin clients from Dell (Wyse), HP or IGEL. They do what they are supposed to do and therefore get little attention. What is frequently forgotten in the process is that […]
Most organizations have identity well established by now. MFA is on, accounts are protected and access to Citrix or Azure Virtual Desktop seems under control. But in practice, the greatest risk is often not in accounts. It’s in devices, context and behavior. Therefore, the real question is not just who someone is, but where someone […]
Local storage still feels familiar to many organizations. Putting files on the C drive for a moment, working without the Internet, everything at your fingertips. Until something goes wrong. A laptop gets lost, an employee leaves or ransomware strikes. That’s when it becomes clear how vulnerable local storage actually is. Microsoft is therefore increasingly pushing […]
Many organizations use Citrix Cloud without dealing with API authentication on a daily basis. API links work, automations run, and as long as there are no error messages, it gets little attention. Yet that is about to change. Citrix is discontinuing Secure Clients and replacing them with Service Principals. New Secure Clients can already no […]
We have just begun the year. Many organizations are starting with good intentions. Cybersecurity is almost always on the list. Yet we see in practice that many companies don’t know where to start. Then they quickly talk about a firewall or a new antivirus package. That feels safe, but in 2026, that’s rarely where you […]
Increasingly, IT migrations and security incidents are ending up in the news. One of the often underestimated causes is ignoring End-of-Life (EOL) and End-of-Support (EOS) dates of IT products. These deadlines indicate when software or hardware will no longer receive updates, patches or vendor support. When you fail to identify these milestones in a timely […]
