Technology Mounting and Physical Security

The increasing use of customer facing technology in the retail environment through devices such as payment terminals, iPads, and a host of other portable devices may have brought about a new shopping experience for many, but this has been at the cost of increased theft and fraud. The store in general and the point of sale in particular are at risk from increasingly sophisticated forms of criminality. Card data and PIN information are most at risk. Records show that it only takes about 30 seconds to remove an entire card device and replace it with an identical one fitted with electronic skimmers*.

Criminals have developed a comprehensive understanding of the functionality and vulnerabilities of many of the terminals and recent mergers in the terminal manufacturing industry have resulted in fewer companies and subsequently fewer types of terminals. Having successfully defeated security features of a particular terminal, it becomes easier to use this information to attack similar terminals, making POS security all the more relevant.

The iPad and other tablet devices have transformed the manner in which we use mobile technology and have lead to a reassessment of the traditional approach to commercial technology integration, and especially within the retail sector. But these devices are of high value and highly sought after.

We understand technology and technology integration and we also understand the physical security requirements of these valuable assets. To protect digital information, prevent data loss and further secure hardware, Seamark International introduces SpacePole® ClickSafe, a security lock for payment terminals, mobile devices and POS hardware.

iPad SafeGuard™ for Retail

The global release of the iPad and other tablets has brought about a significant change in the way we include computers and mobile technology in our day-to-day lives. Tablets encourage a reassessment of the traditional approach to commercial technology integration, particularly within the retail industry.

Tablets offer quick and relatively cheap access to large processing power; they are easy to move around and require little space. Simple to upgrade and maintain, they provide a flexible alternative to existing retail technology solutions.

iPads were not originally designed for retail, so in order for the tablet to withstand the rigors of a hostile environment, mounting solutions must prioritize features that enhance security and protect the tablets as well as the technology. The ideal design will protect the tablets from obvious threats such as abuse and theft. At the same time, the design must maintain the mobility and easy access for maintenance to preserve the advantages of the device and protect the investment.

It is a complex balancing act, but one that the new iPad SafeGuard™ solutions from Seamark International manage perfectly. The SafeGuard™ solutions are specifically designed for retail and put product security first while combining an aesthetic design with a very high level of functionality. The iPad SafeGuard™ Solutions are available in two designs: The SafeGuard™ Clamp and SafeGuard™ Frames.
