Strong Authentication for Citrix Presentation Server with Smart Cards or USB Tokens

For Citrix Presentation Server customers concerned by rising security threats and the weakness of password authentication, ActivIdentity provides a strong authentication solution fully integrated with the Citrix environment to enable secure, easy and cost-efficient access to remote applications and resources.
