Security and operational measures implemented on self-service terminals ensure reliable functionality, protect sensitive data, and prevent unauthorized access or misuse. Examples include robust authentication protocols, activity logging, remote monitoring capabilities, and physical security measures like tamper-evident enclosures.
These measures are vital for maintaining the integrity of transactions, safeguarding user information, and preventing fraud. Historically, as unattended systems became more prevalent, the need for strengthened safeguards grew in parallel to address evolving security threats and ensure public trust. Well-implemented safeguards minimize downtime, reduce operational costs, and contribute to a positive user experience.
