Secure Kiosk & Shared Workstation Solutions

Purpose-built devices for controlled environments, shared access, and secure task-focused computing. Organizations increasingly rely on shared computers and self-service devices for frontline operations. Whether it is a patient check-in terminal, a retail point-of-sale system, or a manufacturing floor workstation, these environments require strict security controls and simplified user experiences. Our kiosk and shared workstation solutions transform standard devices into secure, purpose-driven systems that allow only approved applications and workflows. By locking down the operating system and restricting access to sensitive settings, we help organizations reduce risk, streamline operations, and ensure consistent device performance across all locations.

The Challenge of Shared Devices

Shared devices are common across many industries, but unmanaged environments introduce serious risks and inefficiencies.

Without proper controls, shared systems can quickly become unreliable, insecure, and expensive to maintain. Organizations need a way to standardize device behavior while maintaining usability for employees and customers.

Shared Device Risk

Common Challenges Include

  • Unauthorized software installation
  • Security vulnerabilities and data exposure
  • Inconsistent device configurations
  • User errors affecting system stability
  • Time-consuming IT maintenance
  • Difficulty managing devices across multiple locations

A Secure and Controlled Device Environment

Kiosk and shared workstation configurations transform general-purpose computers into secure, task-specific systems.

Devices are configured to operate in a restricted environment where only approved applications and features are accessible. This dramatically improves security, reduces support issues, and ensures a consistent user experience.

Our solutions can configure devices to operate in several modes:

Mode 1

Single-Application Kiosk

Devices launch directly into one application such as a POS system, check-in interface, or digital signage.

Mode 2

Multi-Application Kiosk

Users can access a curated set of applications while the system prevents access to the rest of the operating system.

Mode 3

Shared Workstation Mode

Multiple authenticated users securely access the same workstation during different sessions without compromising data or system configuration.

Key Features and Capabilities

Device Lockdown

Restrict devices to approved applications and workflows, preventing access to system settings, downloads, or unauthorized software.

Centralized Device Management

Remotely configure, monitor, and manage kiosk and shared devices across all locations from a centralized platform.

Security Enforcement

Apply strict security policies including USB restrictions, browser lockdown, network access control, and automatic session resets.

Fast User Switching

Enable secure user transitions on shared workstations while maintaining compliance and session isolation.

Automatic Recovery

Devices automatically restart applications or restore configurations if disruptions occur.

Enterprise Integration

Seamlessly integrate with identity platforms, endpoint management systems, and enterprise security policies.

Common Use Cases

Retail

Point-of-sale terminals, self-checkout stations, and product information kiosks.

Healthcare

Patient check-in kiosks, nurse workstations, and shared clinical computers.

Manufacturing

Shop floor terminals for production data, equipment monitoring, and operational dashboards.

Education

Shared student computers, testing terminals, and campus information kiosks.

Corporate Offices

Shared hot-desk workstations, meeting room systems, and visitor registration terminals.

Public Services

Library computers, government service kiosks, and public access terminals.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is a kiosk workstation?

A kiosk workstation is a computer configured to run a limited set of applications or a single application, preventing users from accessing the broader operating system or settings.

What is the difference between kiosk mode and a shared workstation?

Kiosk mode typically locks a device to a specific application or small set of applications. Shared workstations allow multiple users to log into the same system sequentially while maintaining security and session isolation.

Can kiosk devices be managed remotely?

Yes. Enterprise management platforms allow administrators to remotely configure, monitor, update, and troubleshoot kiosk devices across multiple locations.

What industries benefit from kiosk solutions?

Retail, healthcare, education, manufacturing, government, and hospitality commonly deploy kiosk and shared workstation solutions.
