Click on the dropdown menu below to find out more about specific threats and how eLux ensures your IT infrastructure remains secure and resilient.
Personal and sensitive information stored locally on devices are at risk of malware, ransomware, and rootkit attacks.
eLux does not store any personal or sensitive information locally on the device. The system is kept read-only, and only digitally signed software can be installed.
This security measure eliminates risks associated with malware and ransomware and significantly reduces the possibility of rootkit installations, ensuring a safer computing environment.
Unauthorized network access can lead to man-in-the-middle attacks and other security breaches.
eLux employs state-of-the-art security measures, including certificate-based IEEE 802.1X network authorization and TLS-secured internal network communication between Scout and eLux.
Certificates stored in TPM chips on eLux devices and warnings for insecure network connections mitigate the risk of man-in-the-middle attacks, ensuring secure enterprise communication.
Insider threats pose a significant risk of data theft.
The rights management feature in Scout allows administrators to granularly adjust individual rights for users of eLux devices, including USB device handling.
By customizing user permissions, the likelihood of data theft by insiders is greatly reduced, enhancing overall security.
Security breaches and backdoor attacks can compromise applications and system integrity.
eLux and its applications are sandboxed and shielded, with additional sandbox features available for user applications and browser content.
This approach minimizes the risk of security breaches and backdoor attacks, maintaining the integrity of applications and the system.
Linux systems require regular updates to address vulnerabilities and security threats.
eLux adheres to Linux security standards, ensuring CVEs are patched and packages are updated as necessary and during regular updates.
Continuous adherence to security standards and regular updates keep the system secure and up-to-date, protecting against known vulnerabilities.
Lack of advanced authentication and secure browsing options can expose systems to security threats.
eLux supports additional security measures such as smartcard authentication and running browser applications in an encapsulated kiosk mode.
These advanced security features provide robust authentication and secure browsing environments, further protecting against unauthorized access and security threats.
