Securing User Input Devices at the EndPoint

SentryBay is the global leader in preventative endpoint isolation protection, recognized by Gartner for securing remote access environments against modern endpoint threats.

Organisations today face an evolving class of threats that exploit endpoint weaknesses in User Interface Devices (UIDs). Because User Interface devices, including the keyboard, screen, camera, and microphone, must remain open and accessible to operating systems and applications to enable productivity, they are highly attractive targets for malware, insider threats, and rogue or AI-driven agents. Protecting endpoint input and output is now a critical but frequently overlooked element of security management.

This need to make User Input devices accessible to applications makes them difficult to secure using traditional OS controls and legacy endpoint security tools.

SentryBay addresses this challenge with Armored Client for IGEL, a patented preventative security solution designed to protect users directly at the endpoint before credentials, applications, and sensitive information can be compromised. Available through Carahsoft, Armored Client integrates seamlessly with the IGEL platform, enabling organizations to quickly strengthen endpoint security without disrupting existing workflows, impacting productivity, or infringing on user privacy.

Armored Client delivers kernel-level protection against credential theft, keylogging, screen capture, camera hijacking, microphone hijacking, and other endpoint-based attacks commonly used to gain unauthorized access to systems and data. Unlike detection-based security tools, SentryBay helps prevent malware from capturing sensitive information in the first place, providing an additional layer of protection against both known and emerging threats.

For public sector organizations, including Federal, State, Local Government, and Education institutions, Armored Client for IGEL helps secure access to mission-critical applications, cloud services, and sensitive information. As agencies continue implementing Zero Trust strategies and cloud modernization initiatives, SentryBay provides preventative protection that helps reduce the risk of account compromise while supporting secure access for employees, contractors, and third-party users.

For commercial organizations, Armored Client strengthens security for employees, partners, contractors, and remote workers accessing business-critical resources through IGEL-powered environments. Healthcare organizations can enhance protection for access to Electronic Health Record (EHR) platforms such as Epic Hyperdrive, Oracle Health, MEDITECH, athenahealth, and other clinical applications, helping reduce the risk of unauthorized access to patient information and sensitive healthcare data. Financial services, contact centers, and enterprise organizations benefit from stronger protection against credential theft and endpoint-based data exfiltration.

Organizations already leveraging the IGEL platform can rapidly deploy Armored Client using existing infrastructure, providing preventative protection for all applications, cloud services, virtual workspaces, and sensitive data accessed through IGEL.

Trusted by millions of users worldwide, SentryBay helps organizations strengthen Zero Trust initiatives, reduce credential-based attacks, and protect critical information against today's rapidly evolving threat landscape.
