IGEL and SentryBay – Partnering to Protect Enterprises and Remote Workforce Against Evolving Threats

The Fontainebleau in Miami Beach will be buzzing with energy next week as IT professionals, industry experts, and End-User Computing (EUC) enthusiasts come together for IGEL Now & Next 2025, the premier event for EUC, endpoint security, and digital workspaces.

This four-day event will highlight innovative strategies, solutions, and insights from IGEL partners. Among them is SentryBay, which will showcase Armored Client for IGEL through live demonstrations that highlight real-world cybersecurity scenarios.

We sat down with Manish Patel, CMO at SentryBay, to learn more about the relationship between IGEL and SentryBay and what attendees can expect to see and learn about the company at IGEL Now & Next 2025.

Tell us about your company and how you partner with IGEL. How long have you been an IGEL Ready partner?

Manish Patel: SentryBay is a global leader in Endpoint Threat Prevention, recognized by Gartner’s Hype Cycle for Endpoint Security across multiple categories. With over 20 years of innovation in endpoint security, we have been at the forefront of protecting enterprises and their remote workforce against evolving threats—well before the rise of the modern hybrid work environment.

As a very recent IGEL Ready partner, we bring our patented Armored Client solution to IGEL-powered devices, enhancing security within a zero-trust framework while preserving user privacy and ensuring seamless productivity. Cyber threats often infiltrate endpoints by exploiting authentication weaknesses or injecting malicious code at the kernel level. Our technology provides unparalleled endpoint protection against keylogging, screen capture, credential theft, and data leakage—fully securing enterprise applications and safeguarding sensitive data.

SentryBay’s solutions are trusted by millions of remote users across diverse industries and global locations. By closing the security gaps in VDI, VPN, thin clients, and SaaS environments, we enable organizations to securely harness the power of the cloud while protecting their most valuable digital assets.

What are some things your organization is doing together with IGEL to shape the future of EUC?

Manish Patel: IGEL is a recognized leader in endpoint security, and partnering with them was a natural step in our mission to fortify remote and hybrid work environments. The Armored Client for IGEL solution is a game-changer, adding a proactive layer of security that neutralizes threats before they can compromise enterprise endpoints.

Our collaboration ensures that IGEL users benefit from continuous endpoint security, blocking keylogger threats, screen capture malware, and insider attacks. This protection extends to usernames, passwords, personally identifiable information (PII), financial data, intellectual property, and trade secrets—safeguarding businesses against unauthorized access and data exfiltration.

Unlike reactive cybersecurity solutions, Armored Client disrupts zero-day attacks at the OS level, preventing unauthorized credential capture and data leaks before they happen. Whether deployed in VDI, DaaS, or SaaS environments, our device-wide protection strengthens IGEL-powered endpoints, securing everything from remote workstations to privileged access workstations.

SentryBay and IGEL are committed to advancing endpoint security and EUC innovation—this is just the beginning!

How has being a part of the IGEL Ready program improved your business, and why is your organization a sponsor of Now & Next 2025?

Manish Patel: SentryBay has long been the “secret sauce” behind the security of financial institutions, government agencies, and global enterprises. However, due to the highly sensitive nature of endpoint security, organizations do not publicly disclose their use of Armored Client to protect against keylogging and screen capture malware.

Joining the IGEL Ready program has elevated our visibility, allowing us to showcase our cutting-edge Armored Client solution to a wider audience of enterprises and security-conscious organizations. IGEL’s Tier-1 recognition as an Endpoint Protection Platform has provided us with greater market exposure, enabling us to extend the reach of Armored Client to millions of IGEL users worldwide.

Our sponsorship of Now & Next 2025 reflects our commitment to delivering proactive, real-time security that integrates seamlessly with IGEL OS. As cyber threats continue to evolve, our presence at Now & Next reinforces the importance of endpoint resilience in the face of sophisticated cyberattacks.

What are some key trends impacting your partners and customers in 2025, and how is your organization addressing these challenges?

Manish Patel: In 2025 and beyond, organizations will face an unprecedented wave of AI-driven cyber threats, zero-day exploits, and insider attacks. Traditional security models—designed to detect and respond—are no longer sufficient. Enterprises must adopt proactive cybersecurity strategies that prevent threats before they materialize.

Armored Client for IGEL is engineered to address these challenges head-on by:

• Neutralizing Endpoint Exploits – Advanced data obfuscation and screen capture control prevent attackers from stealing credentials or exfiltrating sensitive data.
• Blocking AI-Generated Malware – By intercepting keylogging and credential harvesting attempts at the OS level, we mitigate AI-powered attack vectors.
• Ensuring Zero-Day Defense – Unlike conventional antivirus solutions, Armored Client operates at the system level, blocking unknown and emerging threats.

As businesses migrate to the cloud, securing digital workspaces is critical. Armored Client for IGEL seamlessly integrates with VDI, DaaS, and SaaS environments, ensuring enterprise-grade protection without compromising performance or user experience.

Is this the first time you are sponsoring an IGEL event? If not, what keeps bringing your organization back?

Manish Patel: Yes, this is our first time sponsoring an IGEL event, but it will certainly not be our last. The collaboration with IGEL has been both rewarding and insightful, allowing us to align our endpoint security expertise with IGEL’s leading EUC solutions. We look forward to deepening our engagement within the IGEL ecosystem and continuing to drive innovation in endpoint security.
