Benefits of Technology Partnership
Remote access is an important feature for smart, secure and effective retail tech, as well as ATMs and ITMs.
Some companies try to build remote access technology in-house, although it is costly and time-intensive. Considering all of the security features that are required for PCI and GDPR compliance, there's also a level of risk to building around free VNC or RDP software.
When POS machines, ATMs and ITMs are built with Impero Connect software from the ground up, they are guaranteed PCI compliant and in alignment with ever-changing industry best practices and regulatory requirements.

How Remote Access Software Improves POS Machines
Retail is a complex industry. To keep a competitive edge, it's critical to run retail operations effectively, smoothly and securely.
Technology has become the backbone of modern retail organizations, with an intricate set of networks, IoT devices, vendor ecosystems, supply chains, software and mobile applications and, of course, POS machines.
Retailers use remote access software to repair, patch, service and update a range of devices across widespread physical locations — instantly. It keeps them agile and improves customer experience.
But cybercriminals are always looking for new ways to infiltrate retail networks — turning advantages into risks. That's why it's critical to protect the business by using the most secure remote access solution available.
Security is the reason 24% of the world's top retailers choose Impero Connect for remote access, and it's the same reason Impero Connect is already built into NCR's highly secure ATMs.

Benefits of remote access technology partnership
Given how important remote access is to retail network security and efficiency, why not build that feature in-house instead of working with a partner like Impero Connect?
Some companies try, although it is costly and time-intensive to build remote access software from scratch with all the right security and authorization features needed for PCI and GDPR compliance.
Others use modified versions of VNC or RDP software.
However, hackers have consistently found ways to exploit RDP and VNC vulnerabilities. When POS devices are built with Impero Connect software from the ground up instead, they are guaranteed PCI compliant and are in alignment with ever-changing industry best practices and regulatory requirements.

Securely access desktop devices, servers, ATMs and end users, while protecting your IT environment and customer data with the most robust PCI-compliant security features available.
There's a reason 42% of the world's top 50 financial institutions choose Impero Connect for secure remote access, and it's the same reason NCR and Impero are technology partners: security and efficiency always come first.
