IGEL and Citrix support Zero Trust
The IGEL Preventative Security Model™ bolsters cybersecurity by preventing endpoint exposure to attack vectors exploited by bad actors. Preventing ransomware, data breach on the endpoint as a consequence of endpoint loss and theft by:
- IGEL‘s encrypted, read-only OS prevents malware installation, blocks phishing techniques from infiltrating the system.
- IGEL’s trusted application platform (TAP) ensures no code is altered or tampered with.
- No data is stored on the device ensures personal and company data is secure.
- Each reboot of the OS initiates a chain of integrity to check the OS is in a known good state.
- Direct access to Citrix Endpoint Analysis (EPA) runs device checks centrally from the IGEL management console.
- IGEL supports Citrix Device Posture service, a cloud-based solution for IT admins to check device trust and enforce zero trust principles.
- Citrix Secure Access agent — a key component of Citrix Secure Private Access is integrated into IGEL OS to provide ZTNA to all private applications.
Citrix Secure Private Access
Citrix Secure Private Access makes it easy for enterprises to transition users on IGEL OS endpoints from VPN to zero trust access to enable least-privilege access and enforce continuous security for your hybrid workforce.
This integration offers the following key benefits:
