Kiosks that reset themselves.

Public kiosks face constant tampering and drift; each session runs statelessly and leaves nothing behind, no residual data, no manual reimaging.

The problem

An unattended device, exposed to everyone, all day.

Self-service kiosks sit in public, unsupervised, taking input from anyone who walks up. They get tampered with, broken out of their lockdown, and quietly accumulate session data from every person who used them. When one drifts or is compromised, someone has to drive out and reimage it, and until they do, it's both a security hole and a bad customer experience.

Where it hurts

The pressure points in kiosk fleets.

Tampering & breakout

Public users try to escape the kiosk shell into the underlying OS.

Residual session data

Names, payments, and inputs from the last user can linger on the device.

Field reimaging

A drifted or broken kiosk needs an on-site truck roll to fix.

Inconsistent uptime

Distributed kiosks fall out of sync and out of service.

How Scylos solves it

Stateless kiosks, managed from one console.

Leaves nothing behind

Each session runs statelessly and resets, no residual data between users.

No manual reimaging

Tampering or drift is undone by the next clean boot, not a site visit.

Locked to its role

The device runs only the authorized kiosk workload, nothing else.

Update and repurpose remotely

Push changes or change a kiosk's role centrally from Switchboard.

The difference

On-site visits to recover a drifted kiosk.

With Scylos
Zero
Traditional kiosk
Per incident

A kiosk that resets itself stays in service without a technician in the field.

Questions

Kiosk operations, answered.

What if someone breaks out of the kiosk app?+

There's nowhere persistent to land. The session is stateless and resets to a verified baseline, so any tampering is wiped on the next boot.

Is customer data safe between users?+

Yes. Nothing entered in one session is retained for the next, the device keeps no local state.

Can we repurpose a kiosk later?+

Yes. Reassign its role and policy from Switchboard without reimaging or visiting the site.

Tamper with it all you want. The next boot is clean, and you were never anywhere persistent.
