Rethinking Endpoint Strategy: Inside IGEL’s Preventive Security Model
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.

IGEL Weekly: IGEL Secure Digital Signage
I recall a few years ago buying a new car, it was a Hyundai Coupe, I’d never seen one before and thought I’d get something different.As soon as I got the key and drove it, I saw them all over the place!Not so unique after all.This phenomenon is called ‘Intentional Blindness’ or ‘Perceptual Blindness’, when we don’t notice something in our field of view because we are busy focusing on something else.I think this is akin to the pervasiveness of Digital Signage, it is everywhere we simply don’t see it.Until it goes wrong…Host: Andy WhitesideCo-host: Chris Feeney

IGEL Weekly: Entering the AI Era at the Endpoint with IGEL and Lenovo
At IGEL DISRUPT 2024 in Munich this week, Lenovo presented its vision of how generative AI’s next advancement will involve personalizing end-user devices. This means that computers, phones, tablets, and other devices will soon be able to understand the context of our activities and adapt to how we prefer to work.Overall, the concept of adding AI at the endpoint is gaining a lot of traction. In 2023, Adobe reported that 77% of all devices use some form of AI. Lenovo sees the future of AI moving to a background-running service, first appearing locally in high-end and then consumer devices and eventually becoming ubiquitous across all environments, allowing incredibly high-power models to function at low-power demand.Lenovo, in partnership with IGEL, has already taken steps to implement these innovative features.Host: Andy WhitesideCo-host: Chris Feeney
