IGEL Enhances Business Continuity with New Emergency Mode

IGEL, a global software leader, has launched Emergency Mode within its Business Continuity & Disaster Recovery suite. This new feature enables administrators to swiftly secure access during cyber incidents or Windows outages, re-establishing operations in minutes. As cybersecurity threats evolve, with ransomware complaints rising by 14.42% in 2025 per the FBI, the need for such rapid recovery is urgent.

Emergency Mode allows a central reboot of IGEL Dual Boot-enabled endpoints, transitioning them to IGEL OS without user intervention. This aids sectors like healthcare and finance by ensuring continuity of essential services. Administrators can manage endpoints from the Universal Management Suite, maintaining secured access while investigation and remediation efforts proceed.

The development aims to bridge the gap between data recovery and endpoint access, preserving the Windows partition for compliance reviews. IGEL's solution aligns with security operations to maintain functionality and security during incidents, providing a vital tool for modern cyber defense.
