Dear Roger,
Recently I read your article entitled, "Unauthorized applications (still) a bad idea." Indeed, encrypting all confidential data is important to maintaining high levels of security. In fact, Citrix Online has gone to great lengths with Citrix GoToMyPC to offer a robust and encompassing security model, including true end-to-end 128-bit encryption. May I arrange a security briefing?
GoToMyPC includes a number of state-of-the art security features, such as an SSL-encrypted Website; end-to-end 128-bit encryption of the data stream, file transfers, keyboard and mouse input; multiple passwords, including an access code that only resides on the host computer and is never transmitted or stored on GoToMyPC servers; and notification when the PC is accessed. Additional features include mouse and keyboard locking, inactivity timeout and screen blanking of the host computer.
In addition, the Corporate version includes real-time user control, feature access control, user PC limit, password change enforcement, failed log-in lockout protection, one time passwords and RSA SecureID integration. Organizations in security conscious industries, including those in healthcare, finance and law, choose Citrix GoToMyPC Corporate for its robust security features. The service complies with government mandates such as the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA) and the Gramm-Leach Bliley Act (GLBA).
Unlike many free screensavers and games, GoToMyPC is a secure tool that is enhancing everyday productivity for professionals and lowering costs for businesses in numerous industries. Please let me know your availability for a briefing. Please also visit https://www.gotomypc.com/downloads/pdf/m/GoToMyPC_Corporate_Security_FAQs.pdf
