In this episode of IGEL Weekly, Andy Whiteside sits down with Chris Feeney from IGEL’s Office of the CTO to explore a critical, often overlooked element of disaster recovery—endpoint resilience. They unpack how IGEL is addressing business continuity challenges with innovative solutions like IGEL Dual Boot and USB Recovery, enabling organizations to recover in minutes rather than days.

Chris shares insights into the growing importance of securing endpoints amid rising ransomware threats and operational disruptions like the recent CrowdStrike incident. The conversation dives into:

• Why most organizations fail to plan for endpoint-level recovery
• How IGEL’s dual-boot architecture bridges the gap between prevention and recovery
• Real-world examples of minimizing downtime during breaches and outages
• The future of endpoint strategy as SaaS, browsers, and cloud PCs reshape IT infrastructure

Tune in to learn how IGEL is redefining endpoint continuity and setting a new standard for security and business resilience.

In Episode 103 of IGEL Weekly, host Andy Whiteside and Chris Feeney dive deep into what it means to truly rethink endpoint strategy in 2025. Using James Millington’s recent blog as a guide, they explore IGEL’s Preventive Security Model — a lightweight, adaptive, and policy-aligned approach that moves beyond the bloated, reactive stacks of the past.

From Zero Trust architecture and business continuity planning to repurposing hardware for sustainability and simplifying mergers and acquisitions, Andy and Chris share how IGEL unifies hardware, applications, and security into a failsafe foundation for any organization. Whether you’re managing thousands of endpoints or just a few dozen, this conversation reveals why it’s time to break from the status quo and design for a secure, flexible, and future-ready digital workspace.
