Amaller businesses such as independent retailers are more vulnerable when they open up their POS system to electronic purchasing options. They are constantly under siege from malware, hackers and credit card fraud. Verizon Inc. reported recently that over 60 percent of the security breaches that occurred in 2010 were within companies of 100 or fewer employees. That is why system management appliances, such as Dell KACE, equipped to accelerate PCI standards and increase security within a POS system are becoming increasingly popular. Systems management support is a critical piece to the security puzzle, and Dell KACE’s affordable systems management appliances help companies tackle compliance issues by providing critical tools and capabilities, such as automated patching, local and remote software distribution, and state-of-the-art reporting.
