  1. What is POS Security and how can POS software be protected from cyber-attacks? Point of Sales System is software that helps simplify the retail process of all kinds of businesses. From gyms and flower shops to cafes, a POS system can help you store your customers details and preferences, apply discounts, create and edit databases and generate invoices. However, there is a threat of hacking and malware surrounding your POS system. What is POS security? Point of sale security is essential for all POS system owners who want to protect their system from getting hacked and stealing customer data. Such systems effectively fight against cyber attacks, viruses, and malware that can corrupt your system.

  2. How to protect your POS system from a possible cyber attack? ●Avoid unsafe links and attachments You might feel tempted to open a few unknown links coming on your iPad, but it could prove to be a huge mistake on your part. Such attachments usually carry malicious ransomware, so be cautious. ●Don’t connect to external networks Hackers can easily gain access to your POS system as soon as it gets connected to an external network. Avoid such a connection and stick to your own local and secure network where you know your point of sale software and all the data on it is safe and protected. ●Lockdown your POS system The owner needs to create a system where every employee closes down their respective POS system every day at the end of their shift. If the systems are left open and without password protection, anyone can easily steal data from the system and introduce malware to the POS system. Make sure that every iPad POS system is locked down at the end of the day. ●Increase security with two-factor authentication Encryption and two-factor authentication are two powerful ways to keep viruses and hackers at bay. By encrypting sensitive information like credit card details, you protect your data and software from hacking activities. Two-factor authentication serves as icing on the cake which is even better when accompanied by complex passwords. ●Get a trusted POS system Invest in a high-standard point of sale software that is difficult to hack and offers all sorts of benefits to the owners. By doing some research, you’ll be able to find the right kind of POS security system for your business.
