In addition to the ECOS SecureBootStick, the genusecure Suite is now also available. The solution bundle from the provider genua, a subsidiary of the Bundesdruckerei Group, includes the genuconnect software client, among other things. This provides additional options for companies in the security and defense industry as well as authorities. Depending on their individual needs, they can choose from several solutions developed in Germany that are approved for access to classification levels such as VS-NfD, NATO and EU-restricted.

Easily scalable software client

The genusecure Suite is a software bundle "Made in Germany" that is tailored to VS-NfD-compliant mobile working and enables secure access to classified data. The software client is easily scalable and can also be used in large and very large infrastructures with more than 100.000 clients. The solution runs on managed laptops and tablets with Windows 10 or 11 and creates the basis for connecting users to VS-NfD networks in a highly secure manner. It also enables working offline with VS-NfD data. The software client is also compatible with common roll-out mechanisms.

Highly secure remote access even from privately used PCs

The ECOS SecureBootStick can be used for secure remote access to sensitive data regardless of location. The special technology ensures that a highly secure connection is established when the stick is used, completely independent of any other software on the computer being used. This enables the use of private and unmanaged PCs and notebooks, increases flexibility and helps to reduce costs and administration effort. Depending on the variant, the SecureBootStick has a card slot for PKI cards and ID cards in ID-1 format and is therefore also compatible with the German Armed Forces ID card.

Authorities, companies with confidentiality requirements, as well as manufacturers and suppliers in the defense industry, are thus able to meet the challenge of implementing secure remote work scenarios or video conferences while taking into account the required levels of secrecy such as VS-NfD, EU and NATO restricted.
