ANAHEIM, CA — 2017年1月10日 —

ANAHEIM, Calif., January 10, 2017 – During Citrix Summit 2017, AppSense, the leading provider of User Environment Management solutions for the secure endpoint, today announced its latest release of DesktopNow with full support for Windows Server 2016 and expanded support for Windows 10. DesktopNow, which has been Citrix Ready Verified on NetScaler, XenApp and Windows Server 2016 platforms, now provides admins with enhanced, more granular end user controls to improve endpoint security and user personalization, extending their ability to prevent ransomware and malware attacks.

“Cyber threats continue to plague today’s enterprises at an exponentially growing rate, with desktops and laptops being among the most vulnerable points of entry,” said Jon Rolls, Vice President, Product Management, AppSense. “With our latest release of DesktopNow we are adding new layers of defense against these costly attacks on the endpoint, while enhancing admin control, improving user personalization and experience and future-proofing our customers’ investments in end user infrastructure. This is particularly valuable for Citrix users who can benefit from DesktopNow’s thorough integration into the Citrix technology stack for unmatched security and control.”

Available this week, DesktopNow 10.1 gives IT the ability to leverage the new delivery options and enhanced security and virtualization capabilities made possible by Windows 10 and Windows Server 2016. It also extends IT’s control over risky user behavior that may make endpoints vulnerable to ransomware and malware attacks.

Key features included in the latest DesktopNow release include:
New risk reduction resources: Admins now can block PowerShell scripts and Java archives from untrusted sources.

Additional granular controls: Admins now have increased control for improved security, more precise personalization and a better user experience, including clearer and easier auditing and expanded coverage of file types for user self-elevation of applications.

Comprehensive file verification: Admins can determine authenticity of executables with a full runtime check of the file signature and certificate revocation.

Windows Server 2016 Support. In addition, AppSense DesktopNow has been Citrix Ready Verified for XenApp on Windows Server 2016: https://citrixready.citrix.com/appsense-ltd/appsense-desktopnow-plus.html
