NCR,
the global leader in consumer transactions technologies, announced today
that ING-DiBa,
Germany’s third largest private consumer bank with over eight million
customers, has installed NCR
Solidcore Suite for APTRA security software. Each of ING’s 1,300
ATMs has been equipped with this comprehensive protection that prohibits
the introduction of unauthorized code on ATMs and protects them from
insider attacks.
Attacks on ATMs are on the rise worldwide, costing banks, governments
and consumers billions of Euros per year. Additionally, these attacks
damage a financial institution’s reputation and shorten the lifespan of
ATMs.
NCR Solidcore Suite for APTRA proactively allows only authorized code to
run, rather than reacting to known attacks as they arise. Specifically,
Solidcore Suite for APTRA automatically creates and updates the
inventory of authorized code and protects the system’s memory so that
this code cannot be modified, deleted or hijacked – the process in which
malicious code replaces authorised code with itself.
“NCR Solidcore for APTRA delivers standardized and comprehensive
protection for our entire self-service environment,” said Jörg
Johannsen, team leader Cash Handling at ING-DiBa. “The software was easy
to integrate into our system architecture and operating schedule, and it
is scalable and available for all of our multivendor self-service
systems.”
“Solidcore for APTRA is one of the most comprehensive security solutions
available in the banking market,” said Harald Heinz, Area Sales Leader
Finance at NCR and responsible for the DACH region. “It enables our
clients to plan and implement forward-thinking strategies whilst
ensuring high safety levels for the consumer.”
Solidcore for APTRA is part of the NCR Secure® portfolio, NCR’s holistic
approach to security for self-service solutions.
