Alongside employees, companies rely heavily on an extended workforce – contractors, consultants, and offshore teams to drive projects, deliver services, and support growth. This mix of internal and external talent has become a permanent feature of how work gets done. Supporting such a diverse workforce with traditional IT models creates real challenges. Shipping and managing company-owned laptops for every individual is slow, costly, and logistically difficult […] [ Citrix Exploits Are More Than Just Flaws – They’re Symptoms of Fragile Infrastructure ](https://www.venn.com/blog/citrix-exploits-are-more-than-just-flaws-theyre-symptoms-of-fragile-infrastructure/) ![](https://www.venn.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/08/shutterstock_2254971381-1024x683.jpg) August 27, 2025 Blog Citrix Exploits Are More Than Just Flaws – They’re Symptoms of Fragile Infrastructure Infrastructure in Crisis When Citrix discloses a zero-day attack – or worse, is already being exploited before the patch is released – today’s cybersecurity teams face more than a reactive scramble.
