IGEL Secure Endpoint OS
for Now and Next
IGEL is a transformative secure endpoint OS designed for SaaS, DaaS, VDI and secure browser environments. IGEL significantly reduces endpoint TCO and your endpoint attack surface.
The SECURE BOARD 1.0 is an ergonomic keyboard with an integrated reader for smart cards and cards/tags with an RF/NFC interface.For added security and confidentiality, the keyboard can be switched to a secure mode. Now the device can authenticate itself with a certificate and the key transmission is encrypted.
This renders hardware key loggers useless and because the standard keyboard channel is locked, BadUSB attacks cannot be carried out on it.
Thin clients that have the necessary software integrated are particularly suitable for using these functions.
