McAfee secures airline kiosks
August 12, 2007
SANTA CLARA, Calif. —McAfee Inc. has announced that McAfee VirusScan Enterprise 8.5i now supports the Windows XP Embedded operating system. By expanding their protection to Windows XPE, companies can manage security on point-of-sale terminals, including airline kiosks and ATMs, using McAfee's ePolicy Orchestrator security-management software.
"Many of our larger customers, including financial institutions, major retail and airlines, have requested support for this platform," said Rees Johnson, vice president of product management for McAfee. "A more secure retail location enables easier and safer connectivity with customers. McAfee VirusScan Enterprise protects these retail sites from viruses, malware and theft of customer information."
As more companies with remote kiosks, point-of-sale terminals and ATMs move away from proprietary operating platforms to the Windows XPE platform, their exposure to the threats that affect the Windows platform increase.
