Kiosk Deployment Options
Independent Deployment
Deployed with MetaDefender Managed File Transfer - Secure File Retrieval
The Kiosk, deployed on the low-security side, scans media content to block malicious files, redact sensitive data, and transfer verified files with supervisory approval to MetaDefender Managed File Transfer. Optionally, a data diode ensures one-way transfer, and users can retrieve approved files from MetaDefender Managed File Transfer to maintain a media-less high-security network.
Prevent Unscanned Media Usage
Removable media is allowed but must be processed by the Kiosk and enforced via software-based MetaDefender Media Validation Agent or hardware-based MetaDefender Media Firewall appliance. Malicious files are blocked/removed, sensitive data redacted, and only verified files can be used; unauthorized media will be entirely blocked.
Stop Threats Before They Stop You
The Kiosk Tower offers comprehensive security, regulatory compliance, and data protection, ensuring your critical infrastructure stays secure, compliant, and tamper-resistant while preventing data breaches through advanced technology.
Regulatory Compliance
The Kiosk Tower enables secure, auditable data transfers to maintain compliance with evolving cybersecurity regulations like NERC CIP 003-7, NEI 08-09, NIST 800-53, PCI DSS, and GDPR.
Built to Last
Built with durable materials, secure locks, and tamper-resistant mounting, it’s designed for long-term deployments in industrial and office settings.
Customizable Branding
Create a culture of cybersecurity with custom exterior wraps and branding for your MetaDefender Kiosk Tower.
