Site Kiosk

How to protect the infopoint totems from cyber attacks and inappropriate content?

A public location must ensure easy operation, but also ensure vandal-proof protection of the operating system, the device in use, the open application and the content displayed.
In fact, the act of vandalism is often associated with physical damage to the equipment. However, much more frequently we see software vandalism, ie the manipulation of the operating system, of some critical files and folders, which cause the terminal to malfunction.
In other cases, and the news in the newspapers give voice to it, we instead witness the violation of totems for an illicit publication of improper contents such as videopornography or terrorist propaganda contents.

The results of these vandalism can range from loss of income, damage to the company's reputation and ultimately to administrative repair costs. Even in these cases, prevention is cheaper than cure. Since these are public stations or Internet Cafes, at this point it becomes essential to equip them with software capable of ensuring the functioning and protection of the system 24/7.
