The new ECOS SECURE BOOT STICK [ZX] is approved for secure access to data of the VS-NfD, NATO-Restricted, EU-Restricted and for the Bundeswehr.
Remote access even in particularly sensitive, security-critical areas: With the new SECURE BOOT STICK [ZX], ECOS Technology presents a solution for high-security remote access that is tailored to the special requirements of federal authorities, the armed forces, NATO and companies with secret protection.
Slot for ID-1 format badges
The new ECOS SECURE BOOT STICK [ZX] has been approved by the Federal Office for Information Security (BSI) in combination with the genuscreen VPN appliance from genua for access to data of the VS-NfD, NATO-Restricted and EU-Restricted categories. In addition to other ECOS solutions, the remote access solution has a slot for service cards in ID-1 format. This enables, for example, the use of the Bundeswehr troop ID or other ID cards and PKI cards as an additional factor for secure user authentication.
Multi-factor authentication
The ECOS SECURE BOOT STICK [ZX] can be used on business as well as any private PCs and notebooks and offers a comprehensive security concept of cascading measures. When the stick is plugged in, the specially hardened ECOS operating system is started on a hardened Linux basis, which serves as the basis for highly secure access to corresponding terminal servers, VDI systems or web applications. A keypad for entering the PIN is integrated directly into the stick. Multi-factor authentication is thus implemented using a stick, login data and ID-1 card.
Separation between business and private use

"Thanks to BSI approval, the new ECOS SECURE BOOT STICK [ZX] can be used to access the Bundeswehr network remotely, for example, as well as handling sensitive data and applications," says Paul Marx, Managing Director of ECOS Technology GmbH. “Here - well beyond the current pandemic situation - the compatibility of work and family is a central aspect that is playing an increasingly important role for the Bundeswehr as an employer. Application possibilities arise not only with the soldiers of the Bundeswehr, but also within the framework of civil-military cooperation, with industrial partners, civilian personnel, authorities and companies under the protection of secret.
