According to Solidcore, the joint offering allows retailers to implement kiosk capabilities, which include protecting systems, maintaining optimum levels of payment card security, and sustaining centralized control over devices in the field.

Solidcore POS Check and Control provides a single-solution on the endpoint that cost-effectively addresses all of the PCI and security requirements of a kiosk system. Esprida LiveControl automates administrative tasks to give businesses complete visibility and control over a kiosk network.

Together, the jointly deployed solution can enforce that only authorized changes deployed through Esprida LiveControl are allowed to alter the kiosk, including registry entries or data files. Solidcore also protects the kiosk from malware, zero-day vulnerabilities and any unauthorized local changes that might include reading or copying protected files off of the system.

Anne Bonaparte, president and CEO of Solidcore, said: Kiosks offer an exciting opportunity for retailers, but the remote locations of these systems often present management, security and compliance challenges that cannot be overlooked. Working together with Esprida will help simplify the most challenging aspects of kiosk deployments so retailers can focus on growing their businesses and servicing their customers.
