17 Feb 2004
DALLAS - Entrust, Inc. (Nasdaq: ENTU), a global leader in securing digital identities and information and a Citrix Premier Alliance Partner, today announced an extension of the integration of the Entrust Secure Identity Management Solution with Citrix® MetaFrame® Presentation Server for secure access to sensitive applications over the Web. In addition to existing Entrust GetAccess product support, the integration now includes Entrust TruePass software for easy-to-deploy strong authentication and access control for applications delivered via Citrix MetaFrame Presentation Server. Customers benefit from extending the reach of their sensitive applications to remote employees and partners.
With the integration of the Entrust Secure Identity Management and Citrix solutions, customers are able to more confidently and cost-effectively deploy sensitive applications and information through a common Web browser interface. Strong authentication is delivered through Entrust TruePass software, Entrust's market-leading "zero-footprint" product for Web authentication, digital signatures, and encryption. Web SSO and access control are delivered through the Entrust GetAccess server, providing cost-effective, high-performance security for Web portals and Web services applications, which can be optimized through the Citrix infrastructure.
"Entrust and Citrix have a longstanding strategic relationship, and it is great to see this expanded integration," said Josh Drachman, director of Corporate Development at Citrix. "Our customers are asking for a streamlined and secure Web environment and Entrust's security solutions serve this need -- protecting sensitive internal information and transactions performed by employees and partners every day."

"With the combination of Citrix and Entrust products, customers are able to leverage our combined solutions to take their online presence to the next level.
