v-GO Session Manager

Kiosk use is expected to increase 60 percent through 2008 as organizations with large numbers of roaming users turn to them for high-volume data access. Kiosks are convenient because users can share them while roaming during their workday without having to run back to their PCs to access various applications and computing resources. But too often users walk away without logging off, potentially exposing sensitive data to the wrong set of eyes. In fields such as health care where kiosks are becoming very popular, this poses a serious security risk.

Lock outs cost money because the user can’t work and has to call the company’s helpdesk to reset the password. As much as 30 percent of all helpdesk calls are password-reset requests, on average taking 20 minutes to resolve and costing more than $23 on helpdesk costs alone, says market research firm Gartner.
