Kiosk Mode
Deploy devices in single- or multi-app mode configured exclusively for defined business tasks. Kiosk mode in Cortado MDM ensures a highly controlled usage environment designed for maximum efficiency and security when completing tasks.

Tablets and smartphones as specialized devices
Whether in a retail store, where tablets serve as digital product catalogs, in schools for educational purposes, or in public institutions for information kiosks β give users access only to the apps relevant to them. This supports intuitive use and improves user-friendliness by simplifying navigation and making the desired information accessible more quickly. At the same time, restricted access combined with centralized device management strengthens security, since unauthorized apps cannot be loaded and settings cannot be changed, minimizing the risk of data breaches.

Maximum efficiency in single-app and multi-app mode
Cortado kiosk mode makes it possible to run devices in single-app or multi-app mode so they are ideally optimized for their intended purposes in the company. By configuring tablets and smartphones for specific individual apps or a limited selection of apps, companies can ensure that the devices are ideally aligned with the relevant business processes and user requirements. This flexibility increases user-friendliness and enables precise adaptation to different workflows and functions.

Security and data protection for your kiosk devices
Using kiosk mode with Cortado provides the highest security standards and data protection. By restricting devices to selected apps and preventing unauthorized access, sensitive corporate data is protected. Cortado enables precise control over device settings and app permissions, significantly minimizing the risk of data leaks and security breaches. This strict regulation not only helps companies meet compliance requirements, but also strengthens usersβ trust in the security of their data.
