Abstract

SaaS and browser-based application usage is growing, yet many organizations still rely heavily on Windows desktop and app virtualization as well as Windows applications. This dynamic has created significant security and management challenges that are difficult to address with a one-size-fits-all endpoint strategy. IGEL OS offers a solution that reduces the endpoint attack surface, providing a read-only OS, eliminating local data storage, enhancing security, and simplifying management. By adopting IGEL OS, organizations can achieve cost savings, extend hardware life, and align with zero-trust principles, making it a compelling alternative to traditional Windows endpoints.
