About Periscope
Periscope is the fast and secure way to access on-premise web-based services remotely, simplifying operations such as POS management, CCTV monitoring, and more. It eliminates the need for local equipment dedicated to accessing these services and further reduces the need for site visits.
By keeping these services behind a Mako device and only accessing them via the Mako CMS, Periscope leverages the security advantages of the PCI-certified Mako System, such as multi-factor authentication (MFA), strong 256-bit encryption, and centralized logging and auditing.
Users must have MFA enabled and an appropriate user type to access Periscope.
Periscope requires a Mako 6600-M or newer security gateway updated to firmware release CPE F6550 or later.
