IGEL Security Whitepaper on Endpoint Security

This whitepaper outlines the IGEL Preventative Security Model, which aims to enhance endpoint security in the context of shifting enterprise workloads to hosted environments such as virtual desktop infrastructure (VDI), desktop as a service (DaaS), and cloud software as a service (SaaS). The document details key components of the model, including a read-only operating system that prevents malware installation, no local data storage to mitigate data breach risks, and a trusted application platform that ensures system integrity. Additionally, it presents IGEL's centralized management capabilities through the Universal Management Suite (UMS), which allows for policy setting, updates, and performance monitoring of endpoints. The paper also discusses how IGEL OS supports Zero Trust security approaches and integrates with leading authentication solutions to enhance security measures. By adopting this model, organizations can potentially reduce their security risks and operational costs associated with traditional endpoint security measures.
