System Security

Device and Media Security Features

Technologies such as high density USB storage devices, DVDs and 3G modems have been known to be smuggled into or out of prisons as a means of communication or for access to non-approved media. To address this, Cybersource PrisonPC allows the blocking of any modem or USB storage device. Access to DVD or CD media may also be restricted to specific users or desktops.

Logging and Monitoring
Extensive logging of user sessions is recorded in the server system logs for custodial staff to audit later if required. Custodial staff can remotely monitor or control prisoner desktops, for remote support or for clandestine monitoring.

Print accounting and identification
All printing is logged so that the associated costs can be oncharged to the prisoners. All documents are marked with clear identification of the prisoner who printed them.

Enforced curfew
Desktop computers can be automatically shutdown at a nominated 'lights-out' time. Prisoners are unable to use the computers until the curfew is automatically lifted.
