Kiosk Deployment Options
We have multiple recommended deployment options to scan removable media and remediate malicious content before they get into air-gapped and isolated secure networks.
Independent Deployment
In this deployment, removable media are permitted but must be processed by the Kiosk, which blocks/removes malicious files, redacts sensitive data, and allows only verified files into secure areas.
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.
Zero Trust, Zero Compromise.
The Kiosk Mini offers comprehensive security, regulatory compliance, and data protection, ensuring your critical infrastructure stays secure and compliant while preventing data breaches through advanced technology.
Insert. Process. Access. Comply.
Purpose-Built for Extreme Environments
The Kiosk Mini’s rugged design ensures even the most extreme environments remain secure from removable media-borne threats with a glove-enabled Gorilla Glass touchscreen, hardened enclosure, and IP65 dust and water resistance rating.
Built to Last
Built with durable materials and tamper-resistant mounting, it’s designed for long-term deployments in industrial and office settings.
Regulatory Compliance
The Kiosk Mini 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.
