An Email or text alert may be automatically sent from the kiosk for daily activity reports or generated in response to problems detected by the software.
Kiosk software is a critical component to protecting public facing devices from hackers, inadvertent misuse, and unauthorized access.
Windows PCs[2] and Chrome devices[3] can be configured to run in “kiosk mode” which prevents users from accessing certain system functions.
For Windows, this may not be appropriate for all uses, since running in kiosk mode may not give deployers the amount of control they need for their final end product configuration.
For those running a Windows OS, an alternative to kiosk software is Group Policy, which serves to restrict user access to certain areas of the operating system, though not without its own drawbacks and security issues.
