Inteset Secure Lockdown

What Inteset Secure Lockdown is

Inteset Secure Lockdown is Windows software for restricting PCs to specific uses by employees or customers. The Standard Edition runs one application exclusively; the Multi Application Edition can limit access to selected apps launched from Circle Dock or a simplified Start menu. The Browser Edition restricts Chrome or Microsoft Edge, including controls, shortcuts, websites, and extensions. Remote Management Services can report device status, change settings, update software, capture screenshots, restart apps or systems, and send downtime alerts. Inteset lists compatibility with TeamViewer, LogMeIn, Citrix, BigFix, and other remote access and management products. It supports Windows 7, 10, and 11 and requires .NET Framework 4.5.2 or higher. The software must run under an administrator account; Inteset recommends a separate password-protected local administrator account for recovery. The maker advises disabling User Account Control while lockdown is enabled. Internet activation is recommended, though offline activation is available. Listed one-time prices are $19.95 for Standard, $24.95 for Browser, and $29.95 for Multi Application; Remote Management Services is $2.95 per month. A 30-day trial is listed, and lifetime support is included with no yearly maintenance fees.

Who it suits

It suits organizations configuring Windows PCs as kiosks, point-of-sale systems, digital signage, time-clock terminals, trade show setups, or media centers. The remote management option is relevant to teams that need device status and remote settings changes.
