For years, endpoint security has meant adding more control. More agents. More monitoring. More remediation tooling. Each layer addressed a specific risk. Yet the underlying assumption stayed the same. Endpoints were expected to change constantly and security would manage that…
For years, the endpoint has remained one of the most persistent sources of cost, risk, and operational drag in the enterprise. It is where configuration drift takes hold, where compliance weakens over time, and where security teams are forced to…
The latest FBI data, highlighted in recent GovTech coverage, is a reminder that ransomware remains one of the most disruptive threats facing critical infrastructure. More than 2,100 ransomware incidents were reported across U.S. critical infrastructure sectors in 2025, affecting healthcare,…
Organizations are adopting Windows 365 Cloud PCs and Azure Virtual Desktop (AVD) to modernize infrastructure, support hybrid work, deliver improved application and data security, and simplify how applications are delivered to users. This model is well established and continues to grow across industries. But…
Zscaler’s acquisition of SquareX is a smart move, and it deserves applause. It’s a clear bet on where work actually happens today: inside the browser. And it’s a clear acknowledgement that browser security is no longer an add-on. It belongs…
CIOs and CISOs are facing a familiar dilemma. They are asked to deliver stronger security, greater agility, and better user experiences while reducing cost and complexity. Nowhere is this tension more visible than at the endpoint, where the legacy model…
The Overlooked Endpoint Gap When organizations talk about business continuity and disaster recovery (BCDR), the conversation usually centers on data protection and application availability. Backup solutions, cloud failover, and VDI strategies are well-documented. But a critical gap remains: What about…
So far in this series, we’ve explored: The Preventative Security Model™ – IGEL’s strategic framework aligning endpoint, security, and operational strategies. The Preventative Security Architecture™ – The secure-by-design foundation that removes attack vectors by default. Now, in Part 3, we…
In Part 1 of this series, we explored the Preventative Security Model™ (PSM) — IGEL’s strategic framework for aligning endpoint, security, and application strategies across the modern enterprise. But strategy without execution is just ambition. That’s where IGEL’s Preventative Security…
For decades, endpoint strategies have been built on the assumption that compromise is inevitable. Layered tools, endless agents, and sprawling recovery workflows have all centred around designing for compromise failover — monitor, detect, remediate – a simple phrase that dramatically…
Impacted by cyber incidents stemming from outdated systems and a broad attack surface, preventative security can provide retailers with a route to modernization. The retail sector continues to experience an increase in cyber threats, driven by outdated infrastructure, distributed environments,…
When I was young, I used to wonder why we went on holiday. If this is a place we are so excited to go to is so great, why don't we just go and live there? The new research from…
The Growing Challenge of Legacy Windows in Healthcare Healthcare organizations face an escalating cybersecurity risk as biomedical teams continue running critical medical devices on older versions of Windows. These legacy systems, often essential for imaging machines, meds dispensing, and diagnostic…
Today at IGEL Now & Next, IGEL announced that it is working with key partners on IGEL Insights, a new telemetry and data management platform set to be available later in 2025. Gaining visibility into endpoint performance, security, and user…
Organizations today need flexible, secure, and efficient ways to access applications across a wide range of endpoints. IGEL OS already delivers multiple options—whether through DaaS and VDI integrations with Omnissa, Microsoft, and Citrix, enterprise browsers like Edge, Firefox, and Island,…
The recent study from 451 Research, as highlighted in the article “Ransomware Defender Risk: 'Overconfidence' in Security Tools,” published on govinfosecurity.com paints a sobering picture of the current state of endpoint security. The study reveals that only 13% of respondents…
According to the SANS Institute, ransomware grew by 73% in 2023. While these and other digital threats continue to evolve in frequency and sophistication, attackers remain undeterred by international borders, driving the need for legislative action. The Digital Operational Resilience Act (DORA) is…
There were many exciting announcements at this year’s annual IGEL DISRUPT event in Munich, one of which was the addition of the Island Enterprise Browser to the IGEL App Portal. In case you missed it, here is everything you need…
In the fast-paced world of IT security, organizations have become adept at safeguarding their data. Business continuity plans are robust, ensuring that critical information is backed up, replicated, and readily available, even in the face of disaster. But while these…
Virtual desktop infrastructure (VDI) and Desktop as a Service (DaaS) solutions such as Microsoft Windows 365, Azure Virtual Desktop (AVD), Citrix, and Omnissa offer organizations unmatched advantages in terms of data centralization, security, and remote access. However, one significant challenge…
