ABSTRACT
Australia’s Defence, Intelligence and National Security Community perform a variety of tasks and operations in dynamic environments which impose complex demands on systems that are expected to perform well in adverse conditions. Real-time communications within and between intelligence partners is essential for maintaining decisional superiority in all domains.
Imagine an environment where mission critical applications and data can be accessed in a timely manner to facilitate the exchange of operational information easily between agencies and allies. Now let’s take it to the next level by providing access based on real time telemetry like biometrics, geographic location, device profile and risk score, this aims to provide high levels of security whilst ensuring critical information and applications are available only when needed.
Citrix will use this opportunity to describe its current, emerging and envisioned effects to support these capabilities, specifically, securing distributed deployable access to applications and data.
