Com-X Connects: IGEL and the Future of Secure Endpoints: Why Organisations Are Rethinking the Operating System

In this podcast episode of Com-X Connects, we sit down with the global leadership team from IGEL – a company redefining what secure endpoints should look like. Joining Com-X’s Nick Cross in the studio: Darren Fields – VP UKI & International James Millington – VP Product & Solution Marketing Justin Thorogood – Area VP Channel UKI & APAC. Together, they unpack why traditional endpoint operating systems are no longer keeping pace with today’s cyber threats, and why organisations across healthcare, government, finance, manufacturing and critical infrastructure are shifting toward a secure-by-design, immutable operating system. As cybercrime grows into a $10.5 trillion global economy, organisations across healthcare, government, finance, manufacturing and utilities are being forced to rethink their approach to endpoints. Traditional operating systems, multiple agents and legacy security stacks are proving too complex, too slow and too easy for attackers to exploit. IGEL offers a different path: a secure-by-design, immutable OS with no local data, seamless user experience, and two-minute business continuity recovery. In this episode, we explore: Why data at the endpoint is one of the biggest risks in modern security How IGEL eliminates the attack surface with an immutable, Linux-based OS for up to 95% reduction in cyber risk The hidden business continuity gap most organisations never address How dual-boot and USB-boot recovery gets 100% of users online in minutes The rising cost of cybercrime and the impact on insurance and compliance How organisations save up to 75% of their endpoint budget Real-world stories from hospitals, utilities, manufacturers and casinos Why sustainability, hardware longevity and endpoint simplification now matter The future of Zero Trust and endpoint strategy. If you’re a CISO, CIO, IT leader, security architect or anyone responsible for protecting users and maintaining operational resilience, this conversation is packed with insights you can’t afford to miss.
