SoloVue Monitors: How Crystal Display Systems Keeps Your Data Private
Visual Hacking Exposed - let CDS help you stay safe
In our highly connected world, protecting digital information goes beyond firewalls and passwords. At Crystal Display Systems, we believe that visual data exposed on screens can be just as vulnerable as data exposed online. This is where screen privacy comes in—an essential safeguard for organisations handling confidential information like medical records, financial transactions, and client files.
What is Visual Hacking?
Visual hacking is the low‑tech act of stealing data simply by seeing it on your monitor. It might sound trivial—but someone glancing over your shoulder or snapping a photo from across the room can turn into a serious data breach. For workplaces such as banks, hospitals, government offices, and even cafés, this risk is real and often underestimated.
Why Screen Privacy Matters
When sensitive data is routinely displayed—on desktops, monitors at customer counters, or public terminal screens—privacy measures become mission‑critical. Screens in open offices, shared workspaces, or customer‑facing areas are prime candidates for visual hacking. Crystal Display Systems offers monitor solutions designed specifically to reduce this risk, including built‑in privacy filters that obscure side‑angle views without sacrificing clarity for the user seeing the screen head‑on.
How You Can Improve Privacy Today
Here are some practical steps:
• Position displays so they aren’t visible from high‑traffic walkways or public areas.
• Use privacy screen filters—whether permanent or removable—to limit the viewing angle.
• Turn off or lock screens when unattended.
• Keep sensitive documents out of sight.
Our monitors with built‑in filters from Crystal Display Systems make implementing these practices easier and more reliable.
Choosing the Right Privacy Screen Filter
When selecting a privacy filter, look for:
• Small viewing angles so only the person directly in front sees the content clearly.
• Minimal impact on brightness or colour fidelity.
• Durable, easy to clean materials.
• Permanent or secure mounting options for high‑security environments.
Screens are everywhere, and they often carry information you can’t afford to show. With just a few smart changes and the right hardware, you can greatly reduce the risk of visual hacking. Trust Crystal Display Systems to deliver privacy‑first monitor solutions that protect your data—and your peace of mind.
