Philips Signage touts security measure for USB devices

Philips Signage displays now offer a configurable selection for users to disable the USB port function.

October 8, 2014

Philips Signage Solutions, operated by Envision Peripherals Inc., today announced a security mechanism on its commercial signage displays with a built-in USB port for content playback, according to a press release. This new feature prevents unauthorized USB devices from being connected to commercial signage displays.

Philips Signage displays now offer a configurable selection for users to disable the USB port function, according to the announcement. Users only need to go into screen OSD and make a click on their remote control at Disable USB port selection. In addition, Philips signage displays offer a screw-in USB cover that covers the USB port for people to plug or unplug USB thumb drive to the USB ports.

“With this double protection mechanism, users are worry-free about their signage being attacked or mess-up by anonymous person," said Glen Young, senior product marketing manager of Envision Peripherals Inc., a Philips Signage global licensee and North America business operation company. "Even more important, the network connecting an array of displays isfully secured.”

This security feature is found in all existing Philips Signage displays, 32”, 42” 46”, 55” 20QL series, 32”, 42”, 46”, 55”, 65” 60 EL series, and 42”, 46” 80VL series.
