Through the IGEL Preventative Security Model organisations can save significant resources on the acquisition, testing, management and troubleshooting of security and management tools including antivirus, endpoint detection and response, data loss prevention, backup and recovery, and more.
Users cannot unwittingly, or maliciously, install malware to the endpoint. Organizations reduce the risk of ransomware and other cyber-attacks.
No customer, patient or financial data is stored at the endpoint eliminating possible data breaches from lost or stolen endpoints.
A secure boot chain of trust ensures that IGEL OS has not been tampered with.
By delivering only what is needed at the endpoint, the attack surface is kept to a minimum. The IGEL App Portal enables partner applications to be installed as needed.
The disk partition containing settings, passwords and browser profiles is encrypted with AES-256 encryption in XTS-plain64 mode with 512 bits of key material. The key can be secured with TPM 2.0.
By delivering only what is needed at the endpoint, the attack surface is kept to a minimum. The IGEL App Portal enables partner applications to be installed as needed.
IGEL integrates with leading authentication and single sign-on solutions to ensure fast, secure access to desktops and applications including:
Policy: Set pre-defined policies by device or group
Update: Deploy OS and application updates to IGEL’s endpoints
Configuration: Apply configurations including language, firmware, interface and USB settings
