Strengthening Zero Trust: IGEL Partners with wolfSSL to Set New Benchmark in Cryptographic Security

New partnership strengthens cryptographic security for government, healthcare, and
finance while preparing for post-quantum cybersecurity challenges

MIAMI, March 26, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- IGEL, the global leader in secure endpoint OS solutions for now and next, has partnered with wolfSSL, a premier provider of military-grade cryptographic solutions, to achieve FIPS 140-3 Level 1 certification. In an era of escalating cyber threats and tightening regulatory requirements, this milestone reinforces IGEL's position as the most security-forward endpoint OS for enterprises in highly regulated industries, including government, healthcare, finance, and critical infrastructure.

Raising the Bar for Endpoint Security Compliance

FIPS 140-3 certification ensures that IGEL's cryptographic modules meet the most rigorous federal and international security standards. As regulatory demands evolve, organizations in compliance-driven sectors require endpoint solutions that align with:

• Government – FedRAMP, NIST Cybersecurity Framework
• Healthcare – HIPAA
• Finance – PCI DSS, SEC cybersecurity mandates
• Critical Infrastructure – IEC 62443, CMMC
• Global Compliance – GDPR, ISO 27001

By integrating wolfSSL's high-assurance cryptographic libraries, IGEL OS becomes the only endpoint security solution built for today's zero-trust architecture and tomorrow's post-quantum security landscape.

Preventative Security Model™: A Zero-Trust Approach

Unlike traditional endpoint security solutions that react to threats after they occur, IGEL's Preventative Security Model™ proactively eliminates attack vectors. Built with zero-trust principles, IGEL OS:

• Is Read-Only – Preventing unauthorized installations and malware execution
• Removes Local Attack Surfaces – Eliminating endpoint vulnerabilities caused by local storage
• Enforces Strict Application Control – Allowing only trusted applications to run in IGEL's secure environment
• Seamlessly Integrates with Enterprise Security Frameworks – Ensuring continuous compliance in regulated industries

"With cyberattacks growing in sophistication, organizations can no longer afford to take a reactive approach to security. Partnering with wolfSSL ensures IGEL OS delivers the strongest cryptographic protections available today, while remaining adaptable for future security challenges," said Klaus Oestermann, CEO of IGEL. "This partnership is a game-changer for customers operating in highly regulated environments."

Preparing for the Post-Quantum Security Era

As cybersecurity landscapes shift toward post-quantum cryptography, IGEL is leading the charge in future-proofing endpoint security. In partnership with wolfSSL, IGEL is committed to:

• Reducing cryptographic vulnerabilities with the latest encryption standards
• Ensuring compliance with evolving global security mandates
• Delivering long-term cryptographic agility to defend against next-generation threats

"High-assurance markets have been asking for a partnership like this, and IGEL and wolfSSL are delivering," said Larry Stefonic, CEO of wolfSSL. "With IGEL's Preventative Security Model™ and our advanced cryptographic capabilities, we are setting a new benchmark for security in zero-trust environments."
