Issues with Public-access systems

"A public-access computer must both be very easy to operate and provide protection against vandalism."

Most people immediately think of physical damage when they hear the term "vandalism". However, a more serious concern with kiosk terminals exist, called "computer vandalism". Computer vandalism involves the manipulation of the operating system and critical files/folders, causing the terminal to malfunction. The result of this occurrence ranges from loss of revenue, damage to the company's reputation and administrative costs for repairs.

User Manipulation

An example of unacceptable user manipulation is turning on High Contrast mode, which changes the colors and resolution of your screen, affecting the usability of the kiosk terminal. Try it yourself by pressing the keys LEFT-ALT + LEFT SHIFT + PRINT SCREEN simultaneously and followed by OK (reset the monitor's settings by pressing this key combination again). Though it may seem harmless and not as serious of an issue as crashing the operating system, it still can have the same results. If a customer does not know how to undo the effects of this key combination, it will prevent the user from using the terminal, causing loss of revenue and damage to the company's reputation.
To ensure the safety and security of these terminals, you will need to employ kiosk software that guarantees the operation and protection of your systems 24/7. SiteKiosk software offers the following critical security features:

• Monitors and protects the operating system against manipulation by computer vandalism and hacking
• Secures system drives, folders and files from unauthorized access
• Protects the terminal against most viruses, trojans, and destructive scripts
• Allows access to programs and applications specifically authorized by the administrator
• Deactivates undesired function keys and system critical key combinations
• Restrict or prohibit the downloading of files from the Internet
• Allows administrators to define which domains/URLs the user is allowed to access and restrict undesirable websites
• Automatically processes program restarts in the event of software error
• Deletes user data at the end of each session
• Logs out automatically after extended periods of inactivity
• Closes any open windows and programs at the end of each session
• Automatically updates software
• Schedules date and times of system restarts and shutdowns
• Logging and saving all user interaction

SiteKiosk also has a wide range of additional functions which will allow you to customize this kiosk application to suit your individual needs and requirements. All you have to do is decided what content you want to display and leave the rest to the SiteKiosk software.
