NCR’s ‘holistic approach’ to security helps to proactively counter fraud and deliver trusted and secure banking interface
The entire suite of NCR Secure solutions will be showcased in
NCR’s Remote BIOS Update Solution provides a first layer of protection against unauthorized booting and access to ATM hard disk. This tool allows financial institutions to remotely lock down the (BIOS) firmware on the ATM by applying a password and disabling booting from external devices. This service also periodically refreshes the BIOS password to ensure it remains secure. NCR’s remote push enables no touch password implementation and maintenance, saving time and effort of banks IT staff resulting in significant cost savings over manual tech updates, preventing risk of errors and sharing of passwords.
Further layered protection is provided with NCR’s HDE technology. The solution prevents any files being added to the hard disc. Both Remote BIOS Update and HDE will provide protection from common attempts of malware attacks on ATMs. Further NCR’s HDE provides a pre-boot network authentication for each terminal. The terminal will boot to the pre-boot environment which will use the network to contact the customer’s HDE server. If, and only if, the server authorizes it, will the system boot to the OS on that hard disk. Moreover, even if someone steals the whole PC core, motherboard and drive, they will not be able to access the contents on the hard disk drive.
NCR Solidcore Suite for APTRA is a comprehensive ATM whitelisting software, which proactively protects ATMs from insider attacks by preventing the introduction of unauthorized code on the network and maintaining its integrity and availability, while NCR Physical Protection Level 3 is the recommended solution that can protect ATMs from Black Box Attacks by making it impossible for criminals to connect the dispenser of the ATM to an unauthorized core.
“Today, customer retention, loyalty and securing the banking environment
across physical and digital channels from all potential points of
compromise remains a key strategy for financial institutions around the
world,” said
