ECOS SecureBootStick SX by genua provides a high level of security, particularly valuable in various scenarios such as home office, temporary integration of external service providers, emergency workplaces, crisis management, and remote maintenance. It combines selected security solutions into a comprehensive shield against attacks and threats. ECOS SecureBootStick SX provides highly secure access to terminal server and VDI infrastructures or web applications through its specially hardened operating system. Booting of the laptop or workstation occurs from an encapsulated Linux environment, ensuring a complete separation between business and private use of the respective computer. An operating system installed locally on the used computer or unrecognized malware will not be activated. The stick does not store any data on the computer. The development of the complete solution focused on simple and flexible handling for both IT administrators and users. The ECOS System Management Appliance and the Central Management Station genucenter from genua allow for centralized administration of all solution components. Additionally, other components like genuconnect can be managed and controlled. ECOS Easy Enrollment enables scalable access for a large number of users in a short time. Personal activation codes or smartcards are generated centrally, with drivers ensuring maximum compatibility for all commercially available PCs and x86-based tablets. ECOS SecureBootStick SX is approved for VS-NfD and EU/NATO RESTRICTED, providing a complete solution for secure mobile work via remote access. No unauthorized access is allowed thanks to multi-factor authentication via smartcard. Highly secure access to the corporate network is provided via VPN gateway genuscreen with BSI approval for VS-NfD. The establishment of the secure VPN connection occurs only after successful authentication. Firmware and applications are on a write-protected partition. Integrated firewall blocks attacks such as TCP/IP and ping requests. Data safe for document storage. Check routines against booting in a virtual machine or manipulated updates.
