Research predicts that the international information security market will be valued at over $170 billion in 2022 — growing at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of almost 9%. This steep increase reflects the interests of today’s business leaders, nearly 70% of whom report mounting concerns regarding cybercrime. Now, they’re faced with much of their workforces and workspaces permanently distributed across a multitude of environments and endpoints, with more apps delivered as SaaS or hosted in the cloud. As a result, IT leaders and decision-makers at SMBs in particular, who often have limited resources at their disposal, are struggling to strike the right balance between providing ease of worker experience that promotes productivity — and heightening security. 

Given these seemingly oppositional yet equally critical needs, what are the best strategies and tools to know to create next-gen digital workspaces that protect expanding attack surfaces, new endpoints, and increasingly cloud-based infrastructures without compromising the user experience? Come find out from leading experts in the IT security field at Citrix’s webinar panel “Securing The SMB for a Future of Distributed Work.” Topics to be addressed include:
 
-The top pain points for today’s increasingly distributed digital workspaces
-The case for leveraging zero-trust security practices
-The advantages of SASE in a climate of cloud-based application infrastructures 
-Best practices for protecting your organization’s web apps and APIs
-Business outcomes of implementing these solutions for the SMB

Accelerating the SMB Workspace: Modernized IT Is Key

As the movement to remote work morphs from a response to the pandemic to becoming the way business is done, cyber-attackers have changed focus.  Attackers have turned their attention to breaching the systems that remote workers use to access your critical business data.  The use of simple cyber-security tools such as a VPN or anti-malware product aren’t enough to protect you.  New threats that focus on collaboration tools, file-sharing, and phishing attacks on personal email accounts that run on the same device as corporate apps are all virulent and common.  And new threats are emerging every day.

Remote work must be truly secure and that requires a cyber-security solution for remote work designed to provide comprehensive security.  

This on-demand webinar will help you understand:

 - What the new remote work attack vectors are
 - The risk that any unmanaged device presents
 - How the concept of “zero trust” works and the protection it provides
 - What solutions that fit the needs and budgets of the SMB

SMBs Need Improved Defenses to Protect Remote Workers

When it comes to the types of security challenges that small and medium-sized businesses face today, there’s quite a bit to consider.

First, many owners of these businesses think it can’t happen to them because attackers focus only on enterprise-sized companies because the payoff is larger - this couldn’t be further from the truth.

And while it’s never been easy, keeping systems secure was a little simpler when everyone came to the office to work. Now, many employees are scattered, working on a network that is not secured by your IT staff, and on a device that may not be managed by your organization. Gaining visibility into the potentially risky actions your employees may be taking, and how that may impact your data security, is now tougher than ever.

The good news is, Citrix can help.

In this four part mini webinar or "webinette" series, we'll discuss:

-The biggest security challenges facing small and medium-sized businesses
-Best practices for obtaining a 24x7x365 approach to security
-How Citrix can help your organization defend itself from both external and internal security threats

Part 4 I Securing Your Growing Business with Secure Internet Access

Part 3 I Securing Your Growing Business with Secure Workspace Access

Small and mid-sized businesses face the same security threats as enterprise organizations, but they have to manage it with fewer resources and less specialization on their security teams. Cyber attacks against businesses have been steadily increasing with the rapid adoption of hybrid work models. Securing access to your most valuable data and applications has never been more important.

We’ll discuss how to enhance real-time protection for your business by:

-Consolidating and securing access to your apps and data
-Implementing zero trust policies
-Using automation tools to detect and act on threats as they happen

How to bring enterprise-grade security capabilities to SMBs

Part 1 I Securing Your Growing Business with Content Collaboration

Over the last two years, our work lives and home lives have collided—in some ways for the better, but not always. Business owners and other professionals are still getting accustomed to working partially in an office and partially at home, and the impacts to things like productivity and happiness. Women specifically have felt these shifts acutely.

As we start to shift out of the changes the pandemic brought in our businesses and lives, managers have the challenge—and the responsibility—to make sure that they’re not only protecting the profitability and processes of the business, but also to make sure they’re taking care of their employees and adapting to new ways of working. 

The Future of Women at Work and Living a Passionate Life, presented by Citrix and produced by Entrepreneur. We’ll speak with Alysia Baker Eve, Director of Product Marketing for Citrix and co-host of the Women on Work podcast. Eve is passionate about empowering women in the workplace and will discuss the new hybrid work situation and how women can use it to their advantage.

We’ll discuss three Ps of women navigating the future of work, and how managers can start to think more strategically about how they lead their teams into the future.

Practicality: How do you structure a return to work, create ideal working environments, and shift expectations and processes to accommodate changes?

Passion: How do you honor your employees’ passion, capitalize on the innovation that came out of this period, and get your teams motivated going forward?

Personal Fulfillment: How do you help your employees feel more fulfilled in and out of the workplace, appreciating the relationships that have formed and keeping the authenticity that emerged?

The Future of Women at Work and Living a Passionate Life

Modern IT security professionals face an on-going litany of challenges. With increased incidences of cyber attacks and an industry-wide shortage of security experts, today’s digital work spaces are becoming too vast and complex to be managed by traditional security protocols. It's clear that a new approach is needed to secure data, apps, and files, without limiting access to the workers that need them most.

Watch this Citrix and IDG webinar to understand:

 - Why a zero trust approach to cybersecurity is required
 - Why you don't have to compromise cybersecurity and a great user experience
 - How Citrix Workspace removes the "friction" from work
