CrossStratus Launches Endpoint as a Service, Powered by IGEL, to Help Canadian Businesses Shrink Cyber Risk, Unlock Growth and Embrace Global Trade
Hamilton, ON — Sept. 8, 2025 — In a climate defined by relentless cyber threats and shifting global alliances, CrossStratus is proud to announce the launch of its Endpoint as a Service (EaaS) platform, powered by IGEL—one of Europe’s most trusted endpoint security innovators. This new offering gives Canadian organizations a modern, flexible, and sovereign alternative to traditional endpoint management, reducing risk and driving operational savings when they matter most. As the first approved MSP partner in Ontario by IGEL, CrossStratus looks to support Canadian businesses transition to better endpoint computing architecture.
Cyber Resilience, By Design
With Canadian businesses facing a surge in ransomware attacks and growing fatigue over complex, patch-intensive legacy endpoints, CrossStratus’ new EaaS solution delivers a preventative approach rooted in IGEL’s Preventative Security Model. IGEL’s immutable, read-only OS architecture eliminates common attack vectors, blocks ransomware at the door, and ensures no sensitive data is stored locally—so breaches become far less damaging, and recovery is measured in minutes, not days.
A German-Canadian Partnership for Global Trust
IGEL, headquartered in Germany, brings decades of European security expertise and a strong alignment with global privacy standards. By partnering with IGEL, CrossStratus not only raises the security bar but also strengthens Canada’s trade ties with the EU—a strategic move as organizations look to diversify away from single-vendor, US-centric technology stacks. This partnership helps Canadian enterprises future-proof their operations by embracing a more digital sovereign posture and flexibly pivot their tech investments in an uncertain geopolitical landscape.
Furthering Canadian-European Alignment
CrossStratus EaaS with IGEL enables Canadian organizations to modernize their endpoints while strengthening transatlantic ties—leveraging trusted European technology leadership to build a resilient, future-ready digital foundation for Canada. Having an endpoint OS that is built with data sovereignty policy by design allows Canadian business leaders to have the confidence that their global partners and customers data rights are being met.
Savings That Fuel Growth
Today’s economic climate demands every dollar work harder. IGEL’s approach extends device lifespans, slashes endpoint software and support costs, and eliminates the need for most third-party security agents. Organizations can realize up to 75% reduction in total endpoint cost of ownership—freeing up budget for business growth, innovation, and workforce initiatives.
Environmentally Conscious Solution
With the end of life for Windows 10 quickly approaching on Oct. 14, 2025, as many as 50% of Enterprise endpoint devices will become unsupported. By migrating to EaaS and re-imaging these older devices to IGEL, businesses regain the security and trust of these endpoint assets. Not only will businesses increase their ROI on these devices, but any converted devices will also be saved from the growing pile of electronic waste in Canadian landfills.
A Canadian Solution for a New Era
“Canadian enterprises are demanding security, control, and flexibility—without compromise,” said Sean Chesney, CEO of CrossStratus. “Our partnership with IGEL isn’t just about better technology; it’s about giving Canada a secure, globally respected foundation to thrive, innovate, and protect what matters most.”
