IGEL and SentryBay Collaborate for Enhanced Data Security

In a significant step towards bolstering endpoint security, IGEL, a renowned provider of secure operating systems for endpoints, has joined forces with SentryBay, the global leader in endpoint isolation protection. The recent collaboration will enable the deployment of the Armored Client for IGEL, a groundbreaking solution now accessible via the IGEL App Portal. This innovative technology aims to protect sensitive information from threats such as keystroke logging and unauthorized screen captures.

The Armored Client, engineered specifically for IGEL OS-powered devices, has undergone stringent validation through the IGEL Ready technology partner program. This partnership assures users of seamless integration and robust security, making it a vital defense mechanism against the increasing risks of data breaches.

The Rise of Endpoint Security Threats

As organizations increasingly rely on remote workforces and cloud-based solutions, the vulnerability of corporate data has never been more pronounced. Cyber threats evolve rapidly, with keylogging and screen capture techniques becoming prevalent methods for data theft. By introducing technologies like the Armored Client, IGEL and SentryBay are responding to these challenges head-on.

Jim Airdo, Senior Vice President of Strategic Alliances at IGEL, highlighted the importance of this partnership in protecting against potential credential theft and data leakage. He stated, "By making Armored Client for IGEL available via the IGEL App Portal, we are giving our mutual customers access to proactive, proven technology that prevents data loss from keyloggers and screen capture, with cloud-direct download efficiency."

Feature-Rich Protection

The Armored Client is not just a reactive measure but a proactive solution with several noteworthy features designed to enhance endpoint security:

1. OS-Level Anti-Keylogging Technology: This feature substitutes actual keystrokes with randomized text, rendering keyloggers ineffective.
2. OS-Level Anti-Screen Capture: It actively blocks unauthorized screen capture attempts, ensuring that sensitive data remains confidential.
3. Selective Screen Sharing: Trusted applications can be allowed to capture screens, balancing protection with functionality.
4. Device-Wide Protection: Offers uniform security across all IGEL endpoints, facilitating comprehensive defense.
5. Effortless Deployment: The solution is smoothly managed via the IGEL Universal Management Suite (UMS), allowing organizations to implement it without unnecessary complexity.

Comprehensive Security Advantages

The integration of the Armored Client within the IGEL OS offers a multitude of benefits that are crucial for organizations operating in today's digital landscape:

• - Zero-Day Threat Protection: By defending against new and previously unknown attacks, it shields vulnerabilities from being exploited.
• - Advanced Malware Defense: The solution is engineered to counter AI polymorphic malware, a sophisticated type that adapts to evade detection by traditional security measures.
• - Preventing Data Leakage: It safeguards various forms of sensitive information—like personal identifiable information (PII), financial records, and intellectual property—by ensuring proper controls against unauthorized data extraction.
• - Universal Coverage: Whether employing Virtual Desktop Infrastructure (VDI), Desktop as a Service (DaaS), or Software as a Service (SaaS), the Armored Client guarantees consistent security across all facets of an organization's IT ecosystem.

Conclusion

With the launch of the Armored Client for IGEL, SentryBay and IGEL are setting a new standard for endpoint security. This innovative solution presents a compelling case for organizations seeking to enhance their data protection strategies amidst an increasingly treacherous cyber landscape. Available now on the IGEL App Portal, the Armored Client offers a timely response to the evolving needs of enterprises, ensuring that secures their sensitive data and operational capabilities well into the future.
