EPAFactory

The New Zealand Citrix User Group has an interesting article up on a company called EPAFactory. This company dlivers (custom) end point analysis (EPA) add-ons for the Citrix Access Gateway:

"They provide EPAs that extend the base EPA functionality of the CAG appliance. This includes extending the EPA to 40+ Anti Virus and 20+ firewall product end-point scans. EPAFactory also specialize in the creation of custom EPAs so if you have a specific requirement it may pay to check them out.

One of the challenges of 'anywhere access' has been that the client-side plugins required for complete connectivity (EPA client, Citrix client, LiveEdit plugin and Net6Helper)often require more privileged access on a workstation than a user has been granted. For example, most internet cafes will block the on-demand installation of these plugins.

The EPAFactory has released the AccessStick which enables users to access all resources (they have been granted access to) from such access scenarios. All session data (temporary files, cookies) is also redirected to the stick which ensures that no data is cache on the workstation itself making this a far more secure access method from public computers."
