Access assurance to support geofence blocklist The Safe and Risky location tabs are added under the Geofence settings. Safe location geofencing helps to identify and restrict access outside of a defined geofenced area. Risky location geofencing helps to detect and narrow down risky user access as per the organizations’s known behavior. Both Safe and Risky geofencings are backed by their own pre-configured custom risk indicators.

With this change, Citrix adds Nutanix AHV to the list of hypervisors that can host the Connector Appliance.
