Why OEMs Need Prevention-First OT Endpoint Security
As organizations modernize, Operational Technology (OT) has become as critical to security as IT. From manufacturing and energy to healthcare and logistics, the systems that control physical processes are now connected and vulnerable.
How IGEL Is Enabling the Future of IT and OT Integration
That’s why IGEL is redefining edge security with a unified framework for both IT and OT environments. Through IGEL’s Preventative Security ModelTM approach, we deliver:
- A Common OS for consistent security and governance across endpoints.
- A Control Plane with IGEL Universal Management Suite (UMS) for centralized management and automation.
- A Data Plane with IGEL Secure App Portal for secure workload delivery and isolation.
But the real transformation happens when OEMs join the journey. OEMs are the foundation of the OT ecosystem — powering industrial control systems, PLCs, and intelligent sensors. By integrating IGEL OS and OEM-certified IGEL Managed Hypervisor, OEMs can deliver “secure-by-design” systems that are virtualized, manageable, and Zero Trust-ready from day one.
Together with our IGEL Ready ecosystem — including partners like Okta, Ping, Zscaler, Honeywell, and Inductive Automation — we’re bridging IT and OT with a security model built for the future.
The result? A trusted, manageable, and converged edge that meets frameworks like NIST, IEC 62443, and NIS2, while empowering enterprises to modernize with confidence.
