Hi

It all depends on ur rules and policies and configurations.  If theres a
loop hole in ur policies or rules definition and ur servers are not
properly hardened then no one is to be blamed. 

We also have a CSG but I have not yet fully rolled out.  Put it in the
DMZ and allow only SSL and ICA protocol thru CSG and encrypt the watch
out for any security breaches on the above protocols and keep on
updating htem.


Also on top of it if u could harden the CSG acc to MS then it should be
safe..it all depends on the organisation to have dedicated IS Security
group.  Otherwise maintenance of these patches is byitself a very big
head ache!!  Currently im undergoing a big trauma cos I shoulder admin
and security responsibilities..

Regrds

Citrix is not safe. End of story.

You can implement the Citrix Secure Gateway and Transaction Authority
for added protection. Get ready to do some serious group policy work
though. The key is to secure your servers in the farm, set up the CSG,
run it all over 128bit encryption thru your SSL Nfuse gateway.

That's what I do.

As far as I know, Citrix is based on SSL which is not considered very
safe, but unfortunately I dont know enough about Citrix. Could anyone
please comment on the security in regards to Citrix?

- AAA
- SSL encryption
- Digital Certificates
- Man-in-middle attack

What is the generel opinion, and why? I need arguments for and against
Citrix, if any?

Regards,
Jesper Sobol
