CUPERTINO, Calif. — Solidcore Systems Inc., provider of software to detect and prevent unwanted system changes, has released POS Check and Control — designed to secure and control retail point-of-service systems and kiosks.
According to a news release, the solution is based on Solidcore's "runtime control" technology that is designed to solve the rigors of POS security, malware protection and meet Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard compliance with minimal system and operational overhead. Solidcore protects nearly 100,000 POS systems worldwide, providing runtime control capabilities that deliver comprehensive security with low overhead. Runtime control ensures only pre-authorized software and code can run on POS systems, while securely allowing software updates from trusted sources, such as those generated by retail coupon engines. Solidcore's runtime control also prevents disk tampering and provides advanced memory protection to authorized software to defend against buffer overflow vulnerability attacks and zero-day exploits. Once secure, POS Check and Control reports on POS system changes in real-time for continuous PCI DSS compliance verification.
