ECOS Technology specialist for highly secure remote access and home office, is expanding the SECURE BOOT STICK product family. With the new ECOS SECURE BOOT STICK [HE], a variant with hardware encryption is now available.
The encryption of all security-relevant partitions ensures a particularly high level of protection despite the small form factor of the stick. This enables the remote access solution to be used in areas with strict security requirements. A strong 2-factor authentication is realized at the same time through a cryptographic key integrated in the hardware.
Specially hardened ECOS operating system
The ECOS SECURE BOOT STICK [HE] can be used on any PC. With the stick connected, the specially hardened ECOS operating system is started on a hardened Linux basis. A highly secure remote access to the desired terminal server or virtual desktop infrastructure or web applications is established. This allows, for example, the quick, easy and inexpensive setup of home office workplaces.
Since no data is stored on the PC or notebook used, nor is there access to installed operating systems or other software, a complete separation between business and private use of the respective computer is guaranteed. This means that private computers or older notebooks that already exist within the organization can be used without any problems, without having to compromise on the level of protection or performance. By not purchasing new devices, significant savings are possible in many cases.

“Given the current situation, the demand for remote access and home office solutions is still high. Many companies, authorities and organizations that implemented appropriate solutions out of necessity very quickly in spring 2020 are now dealing more intensively with the topic of security. With the new, hardware-encrypted variant, we are offering interested parties an additional option within the SECURE BOOT STICK portfolio, ”says Paul Marx, Managing Director of ECOS Technology GmbH.
