A New Era for OT Security and Endpoint Management as IT and OT Converge

According to a recent study by Dragos, ransomware attacks against industrial organizations are up 87% year over year. In addition to an 87% increase in attacks last year, Dragos saw a 60% jump in ransomware groups targeting OT and ICS, from 50 groups in 2023 to 80 in 2024

As alarming as this statistic is, it is not surprising as the fact remains that many industries run critical systems on outdated, unsupported versions of Windows XP or Windows 7 on legacy devices.

Join the upcoming webinar to learn how to secure legacy systems and achieve modern efficiency to protect OT systems from ransomware and IT outages with IGEL Managed Hypervisor. During the session, IGEL experts will show you how you can achieve:

Prevent exploitation of OS vulnerabilities

Isolate legacy operating systems in a secure, virtualized environment, preventing unauthorized access and exploitation of OS vulnerabilities

Reduce attack surface on the endpoint

Integrate network segmentation, firewalls, and zero trust architectures to reduce attack surfaces and enforce strict access controls, offering advanced protection against ransomware, malware, and data breaches.

Enhance operational resilience

Centrally manage multiple virtual machines with a secure endpoint virtualization platform designed for preventative security with remote troubleshooting, secure updates, and high availability.

IGEL is tackling the challenges of IT/OT convergence head-on with its latest innovation: IGEL Managed Hypervisor,  a virtualization platform designed for preventative security to bridge the gap between legacy operational technology (OT) systems and the security demands of modern hardware, enterprise networks, and the cloud. Announced at the IGEL Now & Next event in Miami in March, the IGEL Managed Hypervisor will be available in IGEL App Portal in May 2025.

Join us on Thursday, May 6, 2025. During this session, you will learn about the advantages of the IGEL Managed Hypervisor and how it positions IGEL as a leader in the emerging convergence of IT and OT security.

Two separate webinars will be held.  For the EMEA webinar, register here, and for North America, register here.
