Secure Access for External Partners with deviceTRUST’s Dynamic and Context-Related Solution

For many years now, VTG has been using deviceTRUST as an additional security level
to allow external partners to securely access the Citrix DaaS environment and data and resources from outside.

As a global asset and logistics company focusing on rail transport, VTG offers multimodal logistics
services and integrated digital solutions in addition to the rental of rail freight and tank cars.
VTG also relies on the exchange and cooperation with external partners to constantly advance
its innovative products and individual concepts.

Successful Integration for Secure External Access

In the past, the existing Citrix board resources were not sufficient to enable access for external parties in accordance with the required security specifications. Thus, Ingo Behrmann and his IT team went in search of an additional level of security. deviceTRUST’s innovative software proved to be the optimal solution, allowing VTG to grant access to resources and applications, improve collaboration and optimize processes, because deviceTRUST integrates seamlessly into Citrix environments, allowing businesses to benefit from the existing infrastructure. This simple integration makes it possible to increase the level of security without the need of complex and time-consuming implementations.

The implementation worked smoothly thanks to the close cooperation between VTG’s team and deviceTRUST’s experts. The adjustment of the set of rules and the configuration were carried out in close coordination, leading to an efficient implementation. This seamless integration not only saves time and resources, but also provides the mentioned and necessary extra layer of security, allowing VTG to audit external partners’ devices without having to manage them.

One Solution – Several Application Possibilities

With the beginning of the pandemic, VTG expanded its use cases to enable its employees the access from a wide variety of devices while working from home. The expansion of use cases to working from home demonstrates how easy it was for VTG to react to new requirements with deviceTRUST and to adapt to changing work environments. The ability to provide secure access from different devices and locations to its employees has maintained productivity ensuring the necessary security.
At a time when cybersecurity threats are on the rise, it is critical for organizations to put in place robust protection measures to secure their digital assets. With the use of deviceTRUST, VTG optimizes its zero-trust strategy and offers both external partners and employees who are working remotely secure access to their digital workspaces.
