Security – Internet / Information

Web Filtering (Zero Trust)

Zamok’s web filtering feature allows administrators to control which websites are accessible on kiosks, creating a secure browsing environment. Administrators can manage an allowed list and a blocked list via the Zamok dashboard. When users attempt to visit blocked sites, they receive a notification. URLs can be manually added or removed, and pattern selection options (contains, matches, starts with) allow flexible control over domains. This feature ensures consistent filtering across all kiosks, enhancing security and usability.

No Personally Identifiable Information (PII)

Zamok prioritizes user privacy by ensuring no personally identifiable information (PII) is collected. The platform gathers only anonymous usage data, such as session info and interaction logs, to monitor system performance and generate analytics. Designed as a kiosk management tool, Zamok is not intended to handle or store sensitive customer data. Users should only connect to internal services and avoid transmitting PII through the platform to ensure security and compliance with its intended use.

Web Filtering (Zero Trust)

Zamok's navigation logs record detailed data about sites visited, including which kiosk accessed the site and the exact date and time of each visit. This helps administrators audit web activity and verify web filter effectiveness. Logs are accessible from the Reports section in the dashboard, where users can view specific date ranges and download the results for further analysis.

Blocked Sites Report (Attempted Access)

Zamok provides a real-time Blocked Sites Report, which tracks attempted access to sites blocked by web filtering rules. This list, including any "allowed" sites, can be viewed or downloaded from the web filter settings card. Administrators can easily monitor and audit attempts to visit restricted websites, ensuring that security measures are functioning effectively.

Machine Vision Session Management

Zamok's FaceLock feature uses facial detection to secure user sessions. Throughout the session, the kiosk's camera monitors the user's presence. If the user moves out of view, a warning modal appears, prompting them to return to the camera's range within a set timeframe. FaceLock remains active until the session ends or the user logs out, ensuring privacy and preventing unauthorized access.

Allowed and Disallowed URLs

Zamok’s web filtering feature allows administrators to define allowed and disallowed URLs for kiosk access. By using the allowed list, administrators can control which websites are accessible, while blocked websites are restricted and logged in the disallowed list. Both lists can be managed in the web filtering settings, where administrators can add, review, or remove URLs, ensuring a controlled and secure browsing environment. Additionally, the web filter provides flexible options to block or allow entire domains or specific patterns.

Download Blocking

Zamok’s download blocking feature enhances kiosk security by preventing users from downloading files from websites. This measure helps reduce risks of malware, unauthorized software installations, or harmful files being executed on the kiosk. It also prevents unnecessary data accumulation on the kiosk’s hard drive, ensuring a more secure and stable environment for public or shared use. Administrators can manage download blocking settings via the Zamok dashboard, maintaining control over file access.

Kiosk Web Browser

Zamok's Kiosk Web Browser provides a secure and controlled browsing environment tailored for kiosk use. Built on a modified Chromium engine, it ensures compatibility with most websites while incorporating added security features. The browser disables the URL bar to prevent unauthorized navigation, and administrators can configure templates and workflows through the Zamok dashboard. With features like download blocking, session management, and real-time updates, the Kiosk Web Browser ensures a seamless, user-friendly, and secure browsing experience for public kiosks.
