AI & Security · Secure AI Development
Citrix SecurSpaces gives developers, contractors and AI coding agents fast, governed cloud workspaces where source code never lands on a device.
Citrix SecurSpaces (formerly Secure Developer Spaces) provides secure, browser-accessible development workspaces. Code, credentials and data stay in a governed environment, and developers use the IDEs and AI assistants they already know. It supports VS Code, JetBrains, Cursor, Windsurf and GitHub Copilot. AI coding agents run sandboxed inside the workspace, where their activity is isolated and audited.
Altanora is one of the first North American partners authorized to deliver Citrix SecurSpaces projects through Citrix Funded Pro Services, and we run our own development on it. See the product overview.

Speed for developers. Control for security teams.
Browser-accessible development environments with code kept entirely off local machines.
Run AI coding and non-coding agents inside the workspace, isolated and audited.
Route AI assistant traffic through an AI gateway so it reaches only the models you approve.
Detect sensitive tokens, credentials and proprietary code, with controlled ingress and egress.
Compute profiles that scale CPU, memory or GPU for AI and machine learning work.
Azure, AWS, Google Cloud, self-hosted Kubernetes including air-gapped, or Citrix-managed SecurSpaces Flex.
Why teams are moving development into governed workspaces.
| Developer laptops | Traditional VDI | Citrix SecurSpaces | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Where code lives | On the device | In the data centre | In a governed workspace |
| AI coding assistants | Unmanaged | Often slow or blocked | Approved tools, routed to approved models |
| AI agents | Run with full user access | Rarely supported | Sandboxed and audited |
| Contractor onboarding | Ship or secure a device | Full desktop build | Browser access to a ready workspace |
| Developer experience | Fast, but risky | Often laggy for IDEs | Native IDEs, built for development |
A short, structured pilot that proves value before you scale.
Pick two or three use cases, such as contractors, offshore teams or AI coding agents.

Our own developers work in SecurSpaces every day.
Dedicated DevOps engineers, not only desktop specialists.
It's now called Citrix SecurSpaces. The product came from Citrix's acquisition of Strong Network, announced in December 2024.
Yes. SecurSpaces supports tools such as GitHub Copilot, Cursor and Windsurf, and can route AI traffic through a gateway so it reaches only approved models.
Each coding or non-coding agent runs sandboxed inside the workspace, so its activity is isolated and audited and it can only reach what the workspace allows.
On Azure, AWS or Google Cloud, on self-hosted Kubernetes including air-gapped environments, or as Citrix SecurSpaces Flex, which Citrix manages.
Eligible customers can run a four- to six-week pilot through Citrix Funded Pro Services. We confirm eligibility with Citrix before we start.
For developers, often yes. It's built for development tools and workflows, while Citrix desktops remain the best fit for business apps.
