What is Esprida ScreenGuard?
Esprida ScreenGuard is a web browser lockdown tool that allows you to build new and innovative self-service applications or adapt existing applications
from other channels, such as the web, to self-service devices.
Reusing your content and existing applications from other channels on self-service terminals in public spaces makes good business sense.
However, if it’s not done properly, or if it’s oversimplified and reduced to only migrating content and applications from the web to the
self-service channel, it could ultimately hurt your relationship with your customers.
Esprida understands the challenges in the self-service channel and has the technology and know-how to help you build and deploy self-service
applications in kiosks quickly and cost effectively.
Use Esprida ScreenGuard to leverage existing web platforms, web services, customer databases, payment options – in a self-service kiosk. You can
even set up your kiosk to display advertising messages – for your company or for third parties – when the kiosk is not in use.
Esprida ScreenGuard also protects your kiosk environment, allowing customers to use your self-service devices with complete confidence. Public access
security is handled out of the box and with the easy-to-use Esprida ScreenGuard interface, you can be up and running in minutes.
How it works
Esprida ScreenGuard is a stand-alone application that resides on your kiosk or self-service device. While it is ideally used in conjunction
with Esprida LiveControl for powerful business intelligence reporting capabilities, you can purchase Esprida ScreenGuard separately and use it to build
and test-drive self-service device prototypes.
When it comes to securing your self-service application in the field, Esprida ScreenGuard works like a fully secure, locked down browser to limit how
customers can use your application, to protect your data and customer-facing interface, and to ensure your customers can use your self-service
device with complete confidence.
Features & Benefits
Leverage Your Web Applications
You've already spent time and money building web applications to communicate with consumers, track customer preferences, and accept payments.
Now it's time to take that success to a kiosk environment.
Esprida ScreenGuard enables the transition to self-service in a safe environment that customers can use with
confidence. Esprida ScreenGuard allows you to adapt your existing web application to the kiosk environment in a quick, complete, and secure manner.
Safe and Secure
Due to their public nature, kiosks and self-service devices can be under attack. Esprida ScreenGuard protects your self-service
devices from OS vulnerabilities, credit card sniffers and malware. For ease of mind, standard Esprida ScreenGuard security features can be used to:
- prevent disk-based threats, OS vulnerabilities, and desktop hijacking
- restrict file downloads
- block system keys (CTRL-ALT-DEL)
- secure user modes
- Restrict navigation and filter URLs
Secure Browser
Kiosk web applications need to look good and they have to be easy to navigate. However, to function effectively in a public space, they also need to be secure.
Esprida ScreenGuard helps you rapidly deploy a successful kiosk application and it protects your brand against hackers. Esprida ScreenGuard:
- Handles nuisance pop-ups
- Purges session data between users
- Includes a built-in secure administrative mode
Esprida ScreenGuard also displays user-friendly-error-pages and manages pop-ups to create a professional kiosk application.
Easy Configuration
Get started in minutes. With Esprida ScreenGuard, absolutely no programming is required. We've kept configuration options
to a minimum. Out-of-the-box features allow you to focus on building your application – not on technical details. Esprida ScreenGuard gets
you up and running – fast.
Scale as your needs grow
As you deploy more kiosks and other self-service devices, management requirements will increase. Add Esprida LiveControl to
Esprida ScreenGuard to automate content distribution, generate real-time reports, perform recovery actions and make smarter decisions about the
operation of your kiosks based on detailed business intelligence.
