Cyber Threat Radar – The availability of SentryBay’s Armored Client for IGEL OS-powered devices marks a significant milestone in endpoint security and data protection.
This collaboration enables businesses to deploy advanced anti-keylogging and anti-screen capture protection seamlessly through the IGEL App Portal, enhancing cyber resilience across enterprise endpoints.
By leveraging IGEL’s secure endpoint OS and SentryBay’s proven endpoint isolation technology, organizations can proactively protect sensitive data from credential theft, insider threats, and sophisticated malware attacks.
Why Endpoint Security Matters More Than Ever
With the increasing adoption of hybrid work environments, virtual desktops (VDI), and SaaS applications, endpoint security has become a primary attack surface for cybercriminals. Keylogging malware, unauthorized screen capture, and credential theft remain some of the most effective tactics used by adversaries to infiltrate corporate networks.
The IGEL and SentryBay partnership directly addresses these threats by ensuring that all IGEL OS-powered devices—whether managed or unmanaged—benefit from real-time, zero-trust security at the endpoint.
Jim Airdo, SVP of Strategic Alliances at IGEL, emphasized the importance of proactive endpoint protection:
“Together, IGEL and SentryBay are protecting against credential theft and data leakage threats for IGEL OS users. By making Armored Client for IGEL available via the IGEL App Portal, we are giving our mutual customers access to proactive, proven technology that prevents data loss from keyloggers and screen capture, with cloud-direct download efficiency.”
This cloud-based deployment model simplifies application delivery, allowing enterprises to enhance security posture without operational complexity.
How SentryBay’s Armored Client Enhances IGEL Endpoint Security
SentryBay’s Armored Client solution has long been trusted by leading enterprises for its ability to neutralize keylogging and screen capture threats at the kernel level. Its integration into IGEL OS-powered devices extends its protection capabilities to virtualized and cloud-based work environments.
Tim Royston-Webb, CEO of SentryBay, highlighted the impact of this integration:
“The availability of Armored Client for IGEL on the IGEL App Portal extends SentryBay’s commitment to protecting the entire corporate desktop. This groundbreaking partnership with IGEL ensures that managed, unmanaged, and BYOD devices are fully protected from keylogging and screen capture attack vectors.”
The Armored Client’s security model assumes that the endpoint is already compromised, providing real-time protection against data harvesting malware—a critical advantage over traditional detection-based solutions.
