Introduction

Citrix Secure Gateway of the Citrix Access Suite is a Citrix infrastructure component which can be used to secure access to resources and applications hosted on servers running one or more Citrix server products. The Secure Gateway transparently encrypts and authenticates all user connections to protect against data tampering and theft.

In order to maintain data integrity and safety, it is imperative to ensure the uninterrupted functioning of the Citrix Secure Gateway. eG Enterprise's specialized monitoring model for the Citrix Secure Gateway keeps close tabs on every critical step of the authentication operation performed by the Secure Gateway server, so that potential security breaches are spotted and sealed before they disrupt normal server functions; this includes, the identification of connection bottlenecks, monitoring data transmitted to and from the server to detect a possible overload, assessing how effectively the server handles SSL handshakes, determining whether/not the server properly validates login credentials, etc.
