You should protect your Citrix environment the same way you protect any end client device on your network. Although it is very unlikely that an infected client using a Citrix session could directly infect the Citrix server, it is possible that the Citrix server may have a vulnerability that needs protected until it can be patched. The key to protecting systems is ensuring patches and updates are applied.

You you have known issues with an infected PC, you should address those before creating any connections to and from it to prevent the spread no matter what protection you have available.

Hope this helps!
