Symantec First to Offer Complete Endpoint Compliance Solution for Securing IP-Based Automated Teller Machines

Symantec First to Offer Complete Endpoint Compliance Symantec

Symantec Corp. (Nasdaq: SYMC) today announced the industry’s first complete real-time endpoint compliance solution to implement fully protected Internet Protocol (IP) Automated Teller Machines (ATMs). Symantec IP-ATM Security includes antivirus, host intrusion prevention, device control, policy enforcement, remediation, and control over managed and unmanaged endpoints to provide banks a secure and manageable ATM infrastructure.

ATMs are one of the highest customer touch points and many banks want to leverage this channel to market new programs and provide more personalized financial status information. To achieve this flexibility, many banks are moving from fixed cost, proprietary networks to IP-based, Windows platform ATM networks. Without continuous compliance and extraordinary protection, these ATMs are susceptible to the same potential threats and vulnerabilities as any other computer connected to the Internet. With the Symantec IP-ATM Security solution banks and financial institutions can mitigate the risk from malicious attacks, viruses and hacking attempts to provide a safe banking experience for their end customers.

“The growth of ATMs on open networks with a Windows platform has increased the bank’s susceptibility to malicious attacks from malware, Trojans, and worms that potentially could bring the ATM down,” said David Miner, director of Financial Services solutions and strategies for Symantec Corporation. “The Symantec IP-ATM Security offering provides the flexibility needed to improve the customer experience, while balancing the need for protecting information assets and cost effectively reducing risk with a complete, easy to administer and manage solution.”
