Microsoft’s decision to end support of Windows XP has been all over the news and buzzing through the ATM industry. While it is true that thousands of ATMs world-wide run on the XP operating system, Triton Systems wants to assure our customers that none of our currently supported ATMs are using the Windows XP platform including 96XX, 97XX, 91XX, 8100, R1600, RL5000, RL2000, FT5000, RT2000, ARGO 7.0, ARGO 12.0, and Traverse.
In 2003, Triton Systems began using Microsoft Windows CE, which gave Triton more control over the lower level operating system. This allowed us to make our own modifications and also secure the system by using proprietary digital signatures on all software and installation files. This prevents unauthorized loading and execution of unrecognized software.
Later this year, Microsoft will end support for Windows CE 5.0. As part of this transition, Triton will migrate to Compact 7 for all new ATMs. As we have done with XScale products that run Windows CE 4.1, we will continue to update software for CE 5.0 for as long as it is feasible, and make upgrade kits available to our customers that choose to upgrade legacy CE products to the new operating system.
In addition, our team will continually audit for security vulnerabilities to ensure that our system remains locked and protected. Security has always been a priority at Triton, please be assured that our team will continue to keep your ATMs safe.
