POS(point of sale terminal) has inadequate protection against physical attacks. An attacker can access sensitive data, such as credit card numbers and PINS, using probes or tiny drill bits. Such attacks can be reliably prevented by adding a security element to the terminal's security upper limit.
Harting 3D-MID helmet enhances safety level. The electrical paths (tracks) inside the protective cap provide a very reliable additional security mechanism to shield against physical attacks. The traces form a closed circuit. They are so close together that it is almost impossible for an attacker to gain access. Any attempt to attack either damages one trace and interrupts the circuit or shorts both traces. This causes the POS terminal to shut down immediately, causing the loss of cached data and making the device unusable.
Caps protect electronic machinery and electronics from unauthorized access. The high-precision bending structure can identify even the smallest intrusions, thus preventing data theft.
Using 3D-MID process, electronic trace is directly applied to the plastic parts of safety helmet. The company says it is the largest supplier of 3D-MID components (mechatronics equipment) outside Asia and provides all processes under one roof. Injection-molded circuit carriers replace traditional solutions using plastic carriers and PCBS. T
They do this by integrating the functions of the two parts into a single MID. This reduces weight, reduces the number of components, lowers production costs, and increases safety. This solution is particularly useful for improving security standards of POS terminals and protecting against hacker attacks.
