Solidcore, Esprida work to secure remote-managed kiosks

CUPERTINO, Calif. —Solidcore Systems Inc., provider of security software, and Esprida Corp.,a remote management software producer, have partnered to help retailers remotely manage kiosk systems.

According to a news release, the partnership seeks to ensure that remotely managed kiosks can only be altered with Esprida LiveControl's automated administrative software, which automates administrative tasks to give businesses complete visibility and control over a kiosk network. Security will be provided by Solidcore's POS Check and Control software, which addresses PCI and security requirements of a kiosk system.

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.

"We are pleased to be partnering with Solidcore to deliver a more comprehensive offering that addresses key concerns for anyone deploying intelligent devices, such as kiosks," said Anila Jobanputra, president of Esprida. "By combining our technology offerings, we make it easier for kiosk deployers to meet and exceed security protocols and service expectations."

Anne Bonaparte, president and CEO of Solidcore, said the partnership will address challenges in security, change audit and configuration control caused by the remote locations of the kiosks.

‘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," she said.
