By integrating wolfSSL’s high-assurance cryptographic libraries, IGEL OS becomes the only endpoint security solution built for today’s zero-trust architecture and tomorrow’s post-quantum security landscape.

Preventative Security Model: A Zero-Trust Approach

Unlike traditional endpoint security solutions that react to threats after they occur, IGEL’s Preventative Security Model proactively eliminates attack vectors. Built with zero trust principles, IGEL OS:

• Is Read-Only – Preventing unauthorized installations and malware execution
• Removes Local Attack Surfaces – Eliminating endpoint vulnerabilities caused by local storage
• Enforces Strict Application Control – Allowing only trusted applications to run in IGEL’s secure environment
• Seamlessly Integrates with Enterprise Security Frameworks – Ensuring continuous compliance in regulated industries

“With cyberattacks growing in sophistication, organizations can no longer afford to take a reactive approach to security. Partnering with wolfSSL ensures IGEL OS delivers the strongest cryptographic protections available today, while remaining adaptable for future security challenges,” said Klaus Oestermann, CEO of IGEL. “This partnership is a game-changer for customers operating in highly regulated environments.”

Preparing for the Post-Quantum Security Era

As cybersecurity landscapes shift toward post-quantum cryptography, IGEL is leading the charge in future-proofing endpoint security. In partnership with wolfSSL, IGEL is committed to:

• Reducing cryptographic vulnerabilities with the latest encryption standards
• Ensuring compliance with evolving global security mandates
• Delivering long-term cryptographic agility to defend against next-generation threats

“High-assurance markets have been asking for a partnership like this, and IGEL and wolfSSL are delivering,” said Larry Stefonic, CEO of wolfSSL. “With IGEL’s Preventative Security Model and our advanced cryptographic capabilities, we are setting a new benchmark for security in zero trust environments.”

IGEL and Microsoft are releasing the following new developments to enhance support for the Windows-powered enterprise:

• Windows 365 Frontline Support. IGEL OS has added new multi-user support for Windows 365 Cloud PCs. Now task workers such as healthcare workers, shift workers and other frontline staff, can connect their Cloud PCs directly from IGEL OS to Windows 365 Frontline. This simplifies the adoption of Windows 365 Frontline to give shift and part-time workers the flexibility to work productively from anywhere without the constraints of shared physical devices.
• Enhanced Intune Support. Now, using a new Intune app for IGEL OS, IT administrators can see and manage IGEL-powered devices from within Intune. Using support for Microsoft Entra ID Conditional Access, enterprises using IGEL OS on endpoints managed by Intune can achieve greater policy control and security for a more compliant endpoint estate.
• Azure Virtual Desktop for Azure Stack HCI Support. IGEL OS’s clients work directly with Azure Virtual Desktop for Azure Stack HCI. IGEL can deliver cost effective VDI access for customers that want the benefits of Azure Virtual Desktop running on-premises using hyper converged infrastructure hardware.

“IGEL is continuing its ongoing, strategic Microsoft relationship by prioritizing the collaborative innovations our joint customers need to accelerate end user productivity while enhancing enterprise security and efficiency,” said Klaus Oestermann, CEO, IGEL. “By deepening our support across the Microsoft portfolio, we are underscoring the value of IGEL in the Windows-driven enterprise and accentuating the value of our combined solution for the future of end user computing.”

“IGEL and Microsoft are mutually committed to delivering a seamless and secure user experience for today’s hybrid digital workforce,” said Scott Manchester, Vice President of Product, Azure Virtual Desktop and Windows 365, Microsoft. “IGEL’s support for Windows 365 Frontline, Azure Virtual Desktop for Azure Stack HCI and Microsoft Intune will help us deliver additional value to a broad range of customers in a wide variety of industries.”

These new developments and enhanced Microsoft technology support will be featured during IGEL DISRUPT 24, the industry’s largest EUC event which will take place September 16 and 17 in Munich, Germany.  During the event, Microsoft will deliver a half-day technical bootcamp, offering hands-on training, real-world simulations, and in-depth discussions to help attendees explore key concepts around Azure Virtual Desktop, the key differentiators of Windows 365 and the optimization of application delivery and security best practices within the Microsoft ecosystem.
