- Assessment and hardening of security-relevant NetScaler settings
- Design and implementation of SAML with Microsoft Entra ID and MFA
- Citrix FAS integration for federated authentication and Windows single sign-on
- Testing, rollback planning, documentation and controlled handover
From access assessment to secure authentication.
- 01
Assess access paths, identities and security requirements
- 02
Design the target architecture and implement changes safely
- 03
Validate authentication, fallback paths and operations
You gain a hardened access path with a transparent authentication architecture and tested operational and fallback procedures.
Useful next steps for your environment.
Frequently asked questions
Is Citrix FAS always required?
No. Citrix FAS is used when federated authentication should continue as single sign-on to the Windows session and the architecture supports it.
Can an existing Microsoft MFA configuration be used?
Yes. Existing Entra ID, Conditional Access and MFA requirements are included in the target design.
Does this include a full penetration test?
No. This is a technical hardening and configuration review. Penetration testing is a separate assessment scope.
