  • Endpoint Protection Platform for Virtual Desktop Infrastructure (VDI) Datasheet
    EPP VDI DATASHEET Endpoint Protection Platform for Virtual Desktop Infrastructure (VDI) Datasheet Introduction The SentinelOne Endpoint Protection Platform offers a lightweight and efcient solution to secure the growing need for virtual environments, including thin clients, layered applications, and other VDI scenarios. VDI solutions have been an underlying IT trend in some of the key business sectors for a number of reasons ranging from cost, compliance and seasonality of workers. And improvement storage performance improvements will only drive the adoption further. Securing VDI deployments is imperative to minimize the business risk and achieve regulatory compliance, especially in the face of increasing magnitude and complexity of cyber threats. VDI also presents some unique challenges for security along with some common issues seen in traditional endpoint deployments. Patching is not always rapid: Patching requires updating the golden image and need to be certified before rollout. Balancing cost and complexity: One of the biggest desired benefits of virtualization is cost savings with oversubscription. VDI implementations tend to be as light-weight as possible to optimize deployments and maximize resource utilization. Consequently, the layers of security controls are always deep. False sense of security: Given the temporal nature of VDI sessions, there is sometimes a false sense of security that drives user behavior. The threats to this environment however are as real – malware such as screen scrapers and key loggers put user credentials and business information at an equivalent risk as traditional endpoint because the virtual desktop is not isolated from corporate environment. VDI performance accentuates risk: Traditional AV scans that cause performance problems on traditional endpoints with dedicated CPU experience a more extreme resource crunch when running in shared virtual CPU environment resulting in AV storms.

  • TOP REASONS to CHOOSE IGEL OS Why Is IGEL OS the Best Endpoint OS for Modern Workspaces?
    TIP SHEET TOP REASONS TO CHOOSE IGEL OS Why is IGEL OS the best endpoint OS for modern workspaces? Let’s take a look: 1. Based on Linux, IGEL OS provides both a time-tested operating system for on-premises endpoints and serves as the ideal next-gen edge OS for cloud workspaces. 2. IGEL OS is hardware agnostic. It converts any x86-64 device, regardless of manufacturer or form factor, into a highly secure, standardized endpoint. 3. IGEL OS saves money by minimizing capital expenditures (CAPEX). By extending the life of existing hardware, it delays or eliminates the dreaded “hardware refresh” and the disruption and cost of investing in new devices. 4. IGEL OS is simple! Easy to use, it features zero touch deployment and drag- and-drop profiling that can make any IT pro’s life much easier. 5. IGEL OS helps protect the enterprise by moving desktop PC workloads from hundreds or many thousands of endpoints into a secure data center or the cloud. 6. IGEL OS seamlessly supports built-in enterprise level security with features like two-factor authentication, smart card readers and trusted execution. 7. IGEL OS is based on Linux and includes a complete “chain of trust” verification process from the processor or UEFI all the way to the host server or cloud. It is thus extremely resistant to manipulation, as well as viruses and other malware. 8. IGEL OS is flexible. Firmware licenses are portable and can be assigned to other devices. 9. IGEL OS is modular by design, wherein unused features can be turned off, giving resources back to the system, and keeping endpoints as “lean” as possible to minimize the attack surface of the device.
