Endpoint Security -
IGEL Preventative Security Model™
Cyber threats are ever-evolving, and ensuring the security of endpoints has never been more challenging. Organizations today face the constant threat of ransomware, data breaches, and malware attacks. Traditional reactive security measures often fall short, leaving endpoints vulnerable.
The Problem with the “Old-School” Security Approach
Imagine your house has a door that keeps breaking, and your solution is to hire a bouncer, a locksmith, and a surveillance team. You’re constantly patching things up, but the cracks keep showing. This is the “monitor-detect-remediate” model of endpoint security—a never-ending game of whack-a-mole with vulnerabilities.
What if you didn’t need the bouncer or the locksmith because your door was unbreakable? That’s the IGEL Preventative Security Model: it eliminates vulnerabilities instead of chasing them.
This page will guide you through how IGEL handles security, providing insights into its robust security framework that you can leverage to enhance your security posture and deliver superior value to your customers.
- Preventative Security Model™: IGEL’s approach eliminates endpoint vulnerabilities, reducing the risk of ransomware and malware attacks.
- No Local Data Storage: Ensures that no sensitive data is stored on the endpoint, significantly reducing the risk of data breaches.
- Modular Design: Minimizes the attack surface by only including necessary features, enhancing security and performance.
- Cost Savings: By simplifying endpoint security, IGEL reduces IT management costs and prolongs hardware lifespans, offering up to 75% TCO savings.
- Centralized Management: IGEL’s Universal Management Suite (UMS) allows for easy, centralized management of all endpoints, ensuring consistent security policies.
Traditional Endpoint Security:
- Problem: High risk, frequent breaches, costly.
- Traditional endpoint security measures are often reactive and insufficient against sophisticated threats.
IGEL’s Solution:
- Proactive, preventative security model.
- No local data storage and read-only OS.
- Centralized and efficient endpoint management.

IGEL Preventative Security Model
IGEL's preventative security model takes a different approach to endpoint security compared to the traditional reactive model.
With IGEL's operating system being read-only, no local data or user profiles are stored on the endpoint device, reducing the attack surface. The OS is also modular, only deploying necessary applications.
Everything is encrypted all the time from the hardware layer to applications. There is a full chain of trust that must be validated for the system to start.
IGEL allows for rapid recovery of endpoints to a known good state similar to virtual infrastructure, avoiding the need to reimage devices after an incident.
This preventative approach reduces risks like ransomware and makes managing secure endpoints easier and more scalable.
