Is Citrix Secure Access (Canary) safe?

Low risk

Citrix Secure Access (Canary) periodically sends browsing history and device/user telemetry to a Citrix-controlled endpoint.

The extension tracks every page navigation, then on a scheduled interval bundles the visited domains, embedded iframe domains, and internal application access into a payload with device ID, device IP/name, platform, and the signed-in user's ID and name, and sends it to a Citrix ZTNA telemetry endpoint (a cloud event-hub URL, or an on-prem `/secureAccess/cep/sessionActivity` endpoint depending on the deployment). Separately, on pages matched by an admin-configured clipboard policy, it captures copy/cut/paste content and relays it over a native-messaging connection to the locally installed Citrix Workspace app, so clipboard data can be redirected into a remote virtual desktop session.
