Secure access to corporate networks
With the ECOS SecureBootStick CL
The ECOS SecureBootStick CL provides highly secure VPN access to corporate networks as Citrix Virtual Apps & Desktops, Microsoft Terminal Server (RDSH), VMware View/Horizon or web applications in a secure remote access environment.
The stick ensures a strict separation between business and private use of a PC when working from home or implementing BYOD concepts (bring your own device). The specially hardened ECOS Secure Linux operating system boots the PC, whereas the local Windows is not addressed. No viruses or Trojans can therefore be activated.
How to start the Secure Boot Stick CL
The ECOS SecureBootStick CL not only offers the security of a protected and encapsulated environment, it also serves as strong 2-factor authentication. The stick is personalized with a certificate linked to the stick's hardware ID.
Connect SBS to PC or Mac
The ECOS Secure Linux operating system boots automatically. The local hard disk is not activated.
