GEC NEWS WIREKaspersky Lab announces the availability of Kaspersky Embedded Systems Security, a targeted enterprise-grade solution designed to protect ATMs, Point-Of-Sale systems and point of service machines. Aimed at protecting a diverse variety of Windows-based platforms, handling the most sensitive financial operations, Kaspersky Embedded Systems Security brings world-leading detection capabilities as well as new specialized security options.
“The first challenge we had to solve was to squeeze in the most up-to-date security technologies in a product designed to run on machines with very limited capacity. Upgrade cycles for ATM and PoS fleets are slow, and it is not uncommon to find a perfectly working machine that was built more than ten years ago, running similarly outdated software. We’ve created a new product compatible with seven generations of computer hardware, which protects the system, even without an internet connection, and is highly flexible, in order to meet the unique demands of financial organizations as well as regulations such as PCI DSS”, said Dmitry Zveginets, Kaspersky Embedded Systems Security Solution Business Lead, Kaspersky Lab.
Kaspersky Embedded Systems Security protects ATMs, PoS terminals and other specialized systems like ticket dispensers from all kinds of threats, with high reliability and a low footprint. It supports all Windows versions starting from Windows XP as well as Windows XP Embedded, Windows Embedded 8.0 Standard and Windows 10 IoT.
