Think your network is secure? Think again! Cyber threats are constantly evolving, especially with hybrid work. We’re excited about a game-changing collaboration that’s setting new standards for endpoint security. Want to know how organizations are now safeguarding their critical assets against ransomware and data loss, no matter where their teams are?
In a significant stride towards enhancing enterprise security, IGEL, a leading secure endpoint OS platform, has announced the availability of Zscaler Client Connector (ZCC) via its IGEL App Portal. This pivotal integration empowers organizations to extend robust Zero Trust security and intelligent cloud connectivity directly to IGEL-powered endpoints, thereby accelerating crucial digital transformation efforts for increasingly distributed and hybrid workforces.
The concept of Zero Trust has become paramount in modern cybersecurity paradigms, fundamentally shifting from perimeter-based defense to a “never trust, always verify” approach. This model is particularly critical in today’s dynamic landscape, where traditional network boundaries have dissolved and remote or hybrid work models are the new norm, necessitating stringent security measures across all access points.
IT and security teams today face unprecedented challenges, constantly battling sophisticated threats like ransomware, pervasive data loss incidents, and evolving cyber-attacks. The widespread adoption of hybrid and remote work further exacerbates these concerns, making comprehensive endpoint protection and secure access solutions indispensable for maintaining operational integrity and data confidentiality.
The integration of Zscaler Client Connector into the IGEL App Portal directly addresses these contemporary security dilemmas. By providing a streamlined pathway for enterprises to fast-track their Zero Trust journey, this collaboration ensures proactive safeguarding of critical assets across any cloud environment or endpoint, all seamlessly integrated within IGEL’s acclaimed Preventative Security Model™.
IGEL’s Preventative Security Model™ is engineered to drastically reduce the endpoint attack surface by up to 95%, simultaneously lowering the total cost of ownership. The partnership with Zscaler reinforces this model, delivering end-to-end security and proactive threat prevention while ensuring a seamless, high-performance experience for end-users, underscoring a commitment to robust endpoint protection.
As a strategic IGEL Ready partner and a recognized leader in Secure Access Service Edge (SASE) and Security Service Edge (SSE), Zscaler plays a vital role in this alliance. Their expertise in safeguarding enterprises from cyber threats, while empowering end-users to remain productive across various applications and devices from any location, complements IGEL’s focus on endpoint device security and exceptional user experiences.
The Zscaler Client Connector, a lightweight agent designed for secure connections to the Zscaler Zero Trust Exchange™ platform, brings tangible benefits to IGEL users. This includes enforcing policy-driven Zero Trust for all internet-bound and cloud workload communications, facilitating secure, policy-driven connectivity across major cloud platforms, and offering fully orchestrated deployment options for rapid value realization.
Ultimately, this strategic collaboration between IGEL and Zscaler signifies a powerful step forward in securing the modern digital workspace. By delivering a comprehensive and integrated solution, it enables organizations to navigate the complexities of distributed workforces and evolving cyber threats with enhanced confidence, fostering both robust protection and sustained productivity.
