• SASE and SSE have a vulnerable blind spot: The endpoint SSE and SASE can’t protect compromised endpoints, creating a dangerous security gap enterprises must close. • Learn how to close this gap at IGEL Now & Next 2026, March 30 - April 2, 2026, in Miami. • Enterprises investing millions in Secure Service Edge (SSE) and Secure Access Service Edge (SASE) architectures face an uncomfortable reality. • Although these solutions excel at securing network traffic and application access, they offer little protection against threats that originate directly on endpoint devices. • The statistics are sobering. • Microsoft found thatup to 90% of ransomware attacks originate from unmanaged devices.

Article Summaries:

  • SSE and SASE architectures, while effective at securing network traffic and application access, leave a critical gap: they cannot protect compromised endpoint devices. IGEL Enterprises highlights that up to 90 % of ransomware originates from unmanaged endpoints and that 60 % of attacks involve human factors such as credential abuse or phishing. To address this blind spot, IGEL proposes a new endpoint model featuring a read‑only, immutable OS, hardware‑rooted trust, and token‑based identity that leaves no data on the device after a session ends. The company will showcase this approach at IGEL Now & Next 2026 (March 30-April 2, Miami), where sessions will explore how the new architecture can reinforce zero‑trust security.
