Restaurant Technology Network would like to give a huge 📣 shout-out 📣 to Mako Networks for introducing their latest feature, #Periscope! Here's what the Mako Networks team had to say... Mako Networks, the sole network management company with PCI DSS certification extendable to merchants, offers a comprehensive system designed for distributed enterprises. The Mako system comprises the Mako Central Management System (CMS) for network management applications, facilitating configuration, deployment, and device management. Additionally, a range of managed network devices is deployed at customer locations or virtually in the cloud. Key features include remote configuration, automated alerts, and detailed reporting for insights into device health, circuit performance, and network status. The innovative Periscope feature enhances remote management capabilities, enabling Quick Service Restaurants (QSRs) to securely access web-based services at remote sites through a single, secure interface. This streamlines operations and access to various systems like POS, CCTVs, IoT devices, and network storage, even facilitating secure management of connected coffee machines. Periscope eliminates the need for onsite visits or makeshift solutions, thereby reducing vulnerabilities. By leveraging Mako's solutions, enterprises can achieve secure, efficient, and compliant network management, mitigating significant risks associated with traditional fragmented approaches. Merchants utilizing the Mako System benefit from PCI-certified network and cloud-based compliance tools, ensuring a straightforward path to achieving and showcasing PCI compliance.
