The post Don’t Miss a Beat with IGEL & Omnissa appeared first on IGEL.

Recently, we demonstrated IGEL OS for healthcare environments in our offices in Augsburg, Germany, in partnership with deviceTRUST, HP, Lenovo, and LG. The purpose of the event was to showcase the importance of future-proofing IT environments to provide the best possible patient care. Our team presented various concepts, technologies, and solutions that can meet the strictest requirements for safety, availability, and cost-effectiveness, which are vital in the healthcare sector.

During the event, we asked attendees about the most critical challenges facing healthcare organizations today. Their responses highlighted the importance of remote work, security, and cost pressure. Attendees emphasized the need for secure end devices and stable systems to support remote work. They also noted that on-site presence is still required for medical care. Furthermore, they stressed the importance of transparent login to ensure user acceptance of security measures, with data security being a top priority. Other important points raised included managing endpoints outside the network, the importance of manageability, and the need for two-factor authentication and biometric tokens for client security.

Ransomware is an ongoing threat

When asked about the specific challenges and opportunities for their organizations in 2024, attendees’ responses included the need for ISO certification and process customization to mitigate risks. Ransomware was identified as an ongoing threat, which in one case is being addressed by implementing LAN segmentation, zero trust mechanisms, and attack detection software. To prevent unauthorized executable files, one organization is restricting users from launching these types of files. The company is also implementing software solutions, such as XDR, training employees/raising awareness on cybersecurity, and deploying thin clients to improve protection.

When explaining the ransomware threat, one attendee who uses Citrix in combination with IGEL OS and Windows 10/11-powered endpoints said: “Our systems are largely protected from attacks and unauthorized access by technical measures such as firewall, proxy, 3-stage filtering of emails with a sandbox for email attachments, MFA, conditional access and administrative measures such as a role-based authorization concept and much more.”

The user is still the weakest link

They continued, “We regularly have penetration tests carried out to uncover security gaps and vulnerabilities, which we can then specifically close. In addition, all user data is secured via a system that technically prevents the backups from being compromised. There is no such thing as 100% security if people have access to the systems – the user is always the weakest link in the security chain. Ultimately, it is a matter of time when it hits us. However, we feel quite well prepared with our security measures.”

Overall, attendees enjoyed the event, with one organization saying, “The lectures were very interesting, and the customer presentations were very good. It was a relaxed environment for the exchange of ideas with manufacturers and customers.”

The post Experts Share Insights on Securing Healthcare Environments at DISRUPT on Tour appeared first on IGEL.

To stave off these threats, healthcare IT teams work constantly to ensure that personal data is kept secure, but often these security measures get in the way of providing a great user experience. After all, clinicians want to spend their valuable time assisting patients, not wrestling with dual-factor authentication! Today’s healthcare provider wants fast, complete, and secure access to the data and tools they need to deliver the best care possible.

Fortunately, keeping your environment secure doesn’t mean you have to compromise your user experience. By deploying IGEL OS on your endpoint devices with your Citrix environment, you can ensure that your clinicians have a seamless, consistently productive experience while enjoying the ultimate endpoint security and user experience.

IGEL OS is the leading endpoint operating system for today’s wide variety of digital workspaces and has been keeping healthcare systems running smoothly for decades. IGEL’s small footprint and read-only OS greatly decreases the attack surface of endpoint devices and can ease the burden of endpoint management through our Universal Management Suite (UMS). Using UMS, a single administrator can easily deploy and manage tens of thousands of devices with just a few clicks.

IGEL has also partnered with Imprivata to support tap-and-go no click access. At HIMSS22, IGEL announced support for Imprivata’s “Persistent App” feature to allow for fast user switching on shared workstations. When a new user accesses a shared workstation, Persistent App keeps the virtually delivered Citrix app from being disconnected, which will decrease login time. During critical moments, information needs to be accessed instantly, and the last thing clinicians want to worry about is whether they can access their workspace efficiently. By combining the power of IGEL, Imprivata, and Citrix, healthcare professionals can focus on providing world class patient care instead of spending time waiting to login to their devices.

IGEL also provides end users with a consistent experience, and our integrations with Citrix, Imprivata, and other partners keep clinicians focused on what they do best, instead of worrying about the technology they use.

You can see a live demonstration of IGEL OS in the Citrix Ready booth #674 at HIMSS23 in Chicago. You will hear from Jason Mafera, Field CTO and Chris Feeney, Senior Presales Engineer, about the upcoming release of IGEL COSMOS, including the revolutionary IGEL OS 12, UMS 12, and IGEL Cloud services, during all three expo days.
