ArtisBrowser provides the best security and copy protection for information kiosks, exams and workstations that view sensitive data and intellectual property. ArtisBrowser has been specially designed to cater for a niche that other web browsers have not catered for because their focus has always been in the opposite direction... to expose media and data for sharing. Data and media cannot be extracted from browser cache or memory.

ArtisBrowser looks like and functions like other web browsers, except for one significant difference. It does not cache and flushes memory to remove traces that can be exploited, which does not severely impact performance unless viewing commercial web sites that are overloaded with ads. For secure information sites, ArtisBrowser is the perfect choice.

As a kiosk browser at an information terminal, ArtisBrowser can be set to display at fullscreen without a toolbar or the options for escaping fullscreen mode. Kiosk mode is controlled by meta-tags in the page, enabling the web designer to have full control over what the computer operator can and cannot do.

Other meta-tags can be used for the control of browser window size and protection settings such as copy, print and keyboard controls enabling the web designer to turn them on or off per individual page or dynamically switched according to the access level of the computer operator. A most unique feature of ArtisBrowser is the identification of each computer by using an algorithm based upon hard drive factors to form a unique ID. Passed as a server variable, computer ID can be recorded and associated with user accounts for ultimate security.

When copy protection is applied the operator cannot PrintScreen, screen record or capture a view of the screen, ensuring that the data and media that is on display is for 'their eyes only'. Copy protection mode is switchable per page while viewing ASPS or CopySafe content. The ArtistScope Site Protection System (ASPS) is site protection software that requires the ArtisBrowser to decrypt web pages delivered from an ASPS server. ASPS software can be installed on all Windows and Linux servers to provide a secure tunnel between web site and the ArtisBrowser.

CopySafe solutions provide encryption and copy protection for images, PDF and video for both desktop viewing and online viewing from a web browser. ArtisBrowser is the only web browser that can interact with copy protection solutions at system level. When ASPS or CopySafe is detected on a web page, ArtisBrowser switches to 'protection mode' to prevent the web page from being exploited in any way.

ArtisBrowser is a Windows only application. Opening access to other operating systems that are unstable or easily exploited would undermine what is ultimately the most secure web protection solution on the planet. For schools and corporate networks running Microsoft solutions, ArtisBrowser is ideal.
