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