Native OTP with NetScaler: Securing your Citrix Environment Overnight for FREE!
Did you know NetScaler has built-in Native OTP? You can add MFA to your Citrix environment overnight with no additional licensing. Here's the CUGC presentation and slide deck.

The Citrix User Group Community (CUGC) had it's first ever User Share XL webinar event centered around the topic of Security on October 5th. I was asked to present on a topic and chose a relatively new security feature on the NetScaler called Native OTP. Essentially it's built-in multifactor authentication (MFA) for your NetScaler. I had a great time sharing and listening to all the Security centric presentations during the event!
My presentation was called "Native OTP with NetScaler: Securing your Citrix Environment Overnight for FREE!" and I covered the basics on what it is, how it works, and how easy it is to setup. You can watch the recording and grab my slide deck at the recap link below on the CUGC website:

Other presenters during the XL event were Kurt Roemer (Citrix's Chief Security Strategist), Remko Weijnen (CTP), Jarian Gibson (CTP), Patrick Coble (CTA), Joe Shonk (CTP), and Thorsten Rood (CTP). It was an honor to present with you guys!
