Citrix is a privately owned company headquartered in the US. Founded in 1989, it employs approximately 10,240 people. The company specializes in software development, functioning as a multinational cloud computing and virtualization technology provider. It delivers server, application and desktop virtualization, networking, software as a service (SaaS), and cloud computing technologies.
On April 1, 2026, Citrix hosted its two-day "Citrix Connect NYC" customer event, providing insights for infrastructure, cloud security, and end-user computing teams through keynotes, real-world customer use cases, and deep-dive technical breakouts across four product pillars. The event also offered self-paced labs allowing attendees to earn a free certification exam voucher, with the aim to deliver practical guidance for modernizing, securing, and optimizing Citrix environments. This followed a warning issued on March 31, when the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA) added a critical vulnerability in Citrix NetScaler to its Known Exploited Vulnerabilities catalog. CISA advised enterprise IT teams to immediately address the flaw, emphasizing the potential for attackers to gain network access.
