Platform Challenges: POS Systems, Kiosks, and ATMs
How BOUNCER Helps You Secure Transaction Systems
Preventing Unauthorized Code on POS, Kiosks, and ATMs
Fixed function systems like POS, kiosks, and ATMs are critical to your daily transactions — and they are prime targets for hackers given the valuable and confidential cardholder data they handle. Whether you face external or internal threats, you need to prevent the execution of all unauthorized applications and eliminate any impact on system and communications performance.
Our award-winning whitelisting solution does all that and more. We secure your critical transaction systems, maintain system reliability and performance, and provide automatic whitelist updating for new applications and upgrades in a single solution. BOUNCER was designed for real users like yourself to protect your critical systems while still providing intuitive management and a flexible framework to minimize the impact on your IT staff.
Addressing Your Operational Realities
We help you address the unique operational realities that your POS, kiosk, and ATM systems can present, including:
-
Intermittent connectivity to the Internet or limited bandwidth
-
Inability to consistently download the latest antivirus signatures or patches
-
Restricted rebooting or rebooting only at specific times in tight maintenance windows
-
Limited memory and hardware resources available
-
Running on older operating systems that are no longer supported
How BOUNCER Helps You
As someone tasked with the security and reliability of fixed function systems, there is no better solution to help you establish and enforce an approved configuration than BOUNCER. BOUNCER is an endpoint control and security solution designed to protect the configuration and integrity of your transaction systems at all times. In addition to providing superior protection against even zero-day attacks, BOUNCER's whitelist of approved applications is automatically created and updated for each control system, locking down that configuration without the need for patching every time a new threat is revealed. Instead, by providing continuous protection without requiring signature or patch updates, BOUNCER helps you:
-
Ensure your protected control systems remain online until regularly scheduled maintenance windows, instead of requiring downtime for emergency vulnerability patches
-
Remove the need for regular updates and reactively patching that is required by traditional blacklist-based endpoint security solutions
-
Prevent memory-based attacks within whitelisted applications themselves to increase security even further
-
Eliminate significant impacts on your system performance — a large advantage over resource-hungry security applications like blacklist-based antivirus
-
Protect your systems that are built on older, unsupported operating systems for which no patches are available
