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 July 10, 2026, Citrix incorporated Model Context Protocol (MCP) Gateway functions into its NetScaler platform, extending NetScaler AI Gateway to govern both agentic AI and large language model traffic from a single system. This update aims to provide enterprises with a unified entry point for AI-related traffic as they deploy agents that connect to internal applications, tools, and data through MCP servers. Previously, on July 9, 2026, threat hunters at Huntress reported tracking a consistent attack chain across at least half a dozen unrelated organizations in the first half of 2026, originating from the exploitation of the "CitrixBleed 2" vulnerability in Citrix NetScaler appliances and often culminating in DragonForce ransomware. This followed an observation on July 8, 2026, by the SAFE Threat Research Team, which identified Citrix NetScaler ADC and Gateway as key enterprise control points experiencing concentrated CVE exploitation activity due to their role as entry points close to access traffic flow, collaboration data, and application execution.
Citrix's customers primarily consist of software Development, media and TV services and international Trade and Development companies. Examples of Citrix's customers include TFO Canada, British Forces Broadcasting Service (BFBS) and Autodesk.
