IGEL, the global leader in endpoint security and provider of the secure endpoint OS platform for now and next, announced a breakthrough in business resilience: organizations can now recover secure access and return to productivity within minutes-even while an attack is ongoing-using their existing devices. The IGEL Business Continuity & Disaster Recovery (BC/DR) solution now features the new IGEL Dual Boot capability, enabling every endpoint to become its own high-availability recovery plan, dramatically reducing downtime and risk.
With IGEL Business Continuity & Disaster Recovery, organizations can instantly recover secure access and productivity from compromised Windows PCs-users simply reboot their existing device into a secure IGEL OS environment. This seamless process eliminates the need for device shipping or reimaging, enabling business operations to resume within minutes, even during a live cyberattack.
“Ransomware is inevitable, but downtime doesn’t have to be,” said Klaus Oestermann, CEO of IGEL. “With IGEL Business Continuity & Disaster Recovery, organizations can instantly recover access, keep their teams productive, and turn a cyber crisis into just a brief interruption.”
Solving the Real Problem: Downtime, Not Just Data Loss
According to the latest IBM Cost of a Data Breach Report, the global average breach cost reached $4.44 million in 2025. These costs are driven not just by data loss, but by business disruption, regulatory penalties, and weeks of lost productivity while endpoints remain inaccessible.
- $4.44M – 2025 global average data breach cost
- $10.22M – U.S. average breach cost
- Weeks of lost productivity: The leading driver of breach costs is extended business downtime-not data recovery.
“Cyber-attacks and malware don’t just steal data-they halt business operations, delay care, and damage trust. The biggest cost isn’t data recovery-it’s lost productivity, service interruptions, and compliance risk.”-James Millington, VP Vertical Solutions, Product & Solutions Marketing at IGEL.
With IGEL Business Continuity & Disaster Recovery, organizations can:
- Restore secure user access in minutes, not days.
- Resume operations instantly, using the same in-place hardware-no shipping, no reimaging.
- Keep employees productive and critical services running during and after a cyberattack.
How It Works
- No Data Recovery, No Decryption Required: IGEL does not recover lost data or repair Windows. Instead, users reboot compromised endpoints into a clean IGEL OS environment-restoring access to business apps, communications, and workflows, even during an ongoing attack.
- Evidence Preserved for Compliance: The compromised Windows partition remains untouched, maintaining forensic evidence for investigation and insurance claims.
- Centralized, Scalable, and Simple: All recovery operations are managed through IGEL Universal Management Suite (IGEL UMS), with expert services to support setup, testing, and validation.
Real Outcomes for Real Organizations
- Healthcare: Patient care continues uninterrupted, even if endpoints are compromised.
- Finance: Transactions resume instantly, protecting revenue and client relationships.
- Retail & Government: Services keep running, reputation and compliance protected.
