IGEL Expands Global Footprint with Entry into Latin America Through Adistec Partnership

Partnership establishes IGEL's regional presence, extending its Adaptive Secure Endpoint Platform™ and partner ecosystem to enterprises across the market

FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla., Sept. 29, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- IGEL®, a global software company delivering the IGEL Adaptive Secure Endpoint Platform™, today announced at Omnissa ONE 2026 its entry into the Latin American market through a strategic distribution agreement with Adistec, marking the latest step in the company's global expansion.

Under the agreement, Adistec will become a new IGEL distribution partner for the region, supporting resellers, system integrators, and technology service providers with technical enablement, training, business development, and go-to-market resources. The partnership will expand access to IGEL across Latin America while helping channel partners build expertise and develop new customer opportunities.

The partnership comes as organizations across Latin America face continued pressure to secure how users and devices access enterprise resources. According to IBM's 2026 X-Force Threat Intelligence Index, the leading initial-access vectors IBM observed in Latin America included valid accounts, exploitation of public-facing applications, software supply-chain attacks, and abuse of external remote services, each accounting for 25% of observed cases. That pressure is also reflected in recent industry research: Gartner has recommended that CISOs move toward a Workspace Immutable Secure Endpoint (WISE) model, and Forrester's 2027 budget planning guidance recommends evaluating secure desktop operating systems in higher-risk environments.

"For organizations across Latin America, endpoint strategy is becoming increasingly connected to broader security, cloud, and secure-access decisions," said Phil Eden, Vice President of Channels Sales for North America, IGEL. "Adistec brings regional expertise and channel relationships to help partners address that opportunity. Together, we can bring IGEL's secure endpoint approach into a wider range of customer environments while continuing to support VDI, DaaS, Zero Trust and SASE architectures, enterprise browser environments, SaaS access, BC&DR and modern workspace requirements."

Bringing the Endpoint into the Security Architecture

The IGEL Adaptive Secure Endpoint Platform™ provides a secure, centrally managed endpoint foundation for modern digital workspaces and secure access. At its foundation is the IGEL Preventative Security Model®, which begins with an immutable endpoint operating system and extends through attested workload delivery, centralized governance, contextual enforcement, and broad ecosystem integration.

The platform operationalizes this model through three planes: IGEL OS as the execution plane, Universal Management Suite™ (UMS™) as the control plane, and the IGEL App Portal® as the data plane. Together, these capabilities enable organizations to centrally manage compatible endpoint hardware and provide access to SaaS, DaaS, VDI, enterprise browsers, and supported enterprise applications while minimizing endpoint attack surface and local data exposure.

IGEL Business Continuity & Disaster Recovery™ (IGEL BC&DR™) extends this platform approach into business continuity and cyber resilience. For supported environments, it provides organizations with an endpoint recovery path that can restore secure access on Windows endpoints affected by ransomware, other cyberattacks, or outages.

This combination allows Adistec partners to bring IGEL into a broader range of customer initiatives, from traditional VDI and DaaS environments to Zero Trust and SASE architectures, secure enterprise browsers, regulated industries, manufacturing and frontline environments, and business continuity planning.

Expanding the Opportunity for Latin American Channel Partners

With more than 20 years of experience developing technology channels in Latin America, Adistec provides regional sales, technical, marketing, logistics, training, professional services, and business development capabilities across IT infrastructure, cybersecurity, virtualization and cloud technologies.

Its channel-focused model combines distribution with partner development, technical and commercial enablement, opportunity development, and go-to-market support.

"Adding IGEL to our portfolio represents an important opportunity for Adistec and our partners across Latin America," said Ramiro Rios, Business Development Manager, Adistec. "Endpoint strategy is increasingly connected to the broader decisions organizations are making around cybersecurity, cloud infrastructure, and secure access. IGEL gives our partners another way to address those requirements while supporting customers' existing technology environments."

Through the partnership, Adistec and IGEL will focus on helping partners build IGEL expertise, identify customer opportunities, and develop complementary services around deployment, migration, and endpoint lifecycle operations. Partners will also be able to position IGEL alongside complementary security and infrastructure technologies represented in Adistec's portfolio, where supported and appropriate, as part of broader digital workspace, security, cloud and resilience initiatives.

As enterprises adopt cloud-delivered applications, virtual workspaces, enterprise browsers, and identity- and network-based security controls, IGEL and Adistec will work with partners to strengthen the endpoint layer within broader modernization and security strategies across the region.
