The only question that matters: does anything need to live on that computer?
Persistence is just a word for what a normal computer does without being asked: it remembers. Files saved to its drive, programs installed on it, settings, the passwords tucked into the browser, all of it stays on the machine and survives every reboot. That memory is persistence.
Persistence is what lets malware install itself and come back after a restart. It's what keeps your credentials sitting on the device for an attacker to grab. It's what has to be wiped and rebuilt after a breach. The thing your computer remembers is exactly what the attacker is counting on.
Does anything actually need to be saved on that computer itself?
For most machines today, no. Your documents are in Microsoft 365 or Google. Your accounting is in QuickBooks Online. Your customers are in a CRM. The work lives in the cloud, the computer is just the window you look through. If nothing needs to live on the device, the device doesn't need persistence, and without persistence there's nothing to encrypt, nothing to steal, and nothing to rebuild. You're not giving up a feature. You're removing a liability.
Sort your machines honestly
Convert now
The browser-and-cloud machines: front desk, reception, point-of-sale, back office, the shared computer, remote laptops, the lobby kiosk. Usually most of your office. Nothing lives on these but the view into the cloud.
Quick check first
Anything with a special device attached, a label printer, scanner, or card reader, or one specific installed program. We confirm it works, then convert it.
Stays as it is for now
The few machines that genuinely keep something on the box: a heavy specialized program with its own local files, or a workflow that has to run offline. As more tools move to the browser, even these shrink.
Scylos runs on the machines where it fits and leaves the rest alone. Not sure which is which? Tell us how your team works and we'll sort it with you, honestly.
Is it right for us?
What if one app only runs locally?+
That machine stays as it is for now. Scylos converts the browser-and-cloud machines around it and leaves the local-dependency box alone until its tools move to the cloud too.
Do we lose our files?+
No. For most machines the files already live in Microsoft 365, Google, or a CRM, the computer is just the window. Nothing important is actually on the box.
Is it really reversible?+
Yes. Scylos flashes onto hardware you already own and can be reversed, there's no rip-and-replace and no commitment to find out if it fits.
