NCR APTRA™ software meets requirements to protect sensitive customer
data on ATMs
DULUTH, Ga.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Sep. 15, 2009--
NCR
Corporation (NYSE: NCR), the global leader in ATM security, is the
first ATM manufacturer to receive PA-DSS
certification from the PCI Security Council. PA-DSS is a
comprehensive standard intended to help organizations proactively
protect customer account data, through requirements for security
management, policies, procedures, network architecture, software design
and other critical protective measures.
According to PCI, the goal of PA-DSS is to help software vendors and
others develop secure payment applications that do not store sensitive
data, such as full magnetic stripe, CVV2 or PIN data, and ensure their
payment applications support compliance with the PCI DSS. Payment
applications that are sold, distributed or licensed to third parties are
subject to the PA-DSS requirements.
The latest version of NCR
APTRA Advance NDC has been certified by PCI. APTRA Advance NDC makes
it possible to drive a single application across multiple vendors’
hardware in NDC host environments. Providing many transactions “out of
the box” as well as a platform for the rapid deployment of new
functionality, APTRA Advance NDC drives transactions on more than
150,000 ATMs for more than 2,000 customers, making it the most popular
self-service software in the world.
NCR also was the first ATM manufacturer to receive EMV certification.
“At NCR, ATM security is one of the pillars of our business, and we are
committed to being at the forefront of the industry in order to protect
the privacy and data of our customers and the consumers they serve,”
said Michael O’Laughlin, general manager, NCR Financial Services. “More
financial institutions turn to APTRA to run their ATMs than any other
software, so it is critical that we work closely with PCI to certify
this mission-critical software for PA-DSS compliance.”
NCR is a leading provider of hardware and software security solutions
for ATMs. Among NCR’s ATM security portfolio:
-
NCR has sold more than 50,000 licenses of Solidcore
for APTRA™, the only proven security solution to preserve system
integrity and prevent malware on ATMs.
-
NCR’s latest family of ATMs, NCR
SelfServ, is the first to introduce a protected USB architecture
that is self-contained within the ATM, helping mitigate the risk of
fraudulent connection of unauthorized USB devices.
-
Fraudulent Device Inhibitor (FDI) is an external illuminated hardware
feature or kit that makes it difficult for criminals to attach foreign
devices on or around an NCR ATM card reader.
-
Intelligent Fraud Detection (IFD) is a unique approach to countering
ATM fraud. Designed to be flexible, NCR IFD can detect a variety of
fraudulent devices that criminals may attempt to add to the ATM
fascia. The deployer receives an instant alert as soon as a fraudulent
device has been added to the ATM, even before any fraud has taken
place.
