ATM / POS / Self-Service Security


As nations go cashless, the criminals too are shifting their attention to the eChannels.

While the Banks are paying attention to the attacks targeted at their customers by installing Anti-Skimming devices, the cyber-criminals are busy deploying and perfecting sophisticated Malwares and Trojans to directly steal monies from the Banks, through the ATMs, PoS, and Self-Service Terminals.

These soft, but highly yielding and potent eChannels’ cyber-attacks originated in Europe, but not yet unleashed on Nigerian ATMs/PoS Terminals. Prevention is cheaper than cure!

In concert with our Russian partners, we hereby introduce to the Nigerian Banks, our specialized ATM/PoS/Self-Service Terminals’ security solutions to proactively protect your vaults from being compromised through the use of these traceless and highly potent cyber-attack techniques. Safensoft TP Secure is the Proactive Answer!

While some Nigerian Banks are already evaluating this product, this solution currently protects 70,000 ATMs of the 3rd largest Bank in Europe: SBERBANK.

We are available to provide a free 90 days’ PoC to demonstrate the efficacy of our solution.

Overview Of Safensoft TP Secure

The SafenSoft approach to ATM and kiosk security has its roots in Digital Rights Management (DRM), where the goal is to preserve the integrity of the system rather than try to identify every malicious action attempted on the ATMs, PoS, or Self-Service Kiosks.

This mechanism, VIPO (Valid Inside Permitted Operations), is a unique and highly-effective architecture that efficiently monitors and processes all system activity for unexpected and/or unauthorized activities without needing hands-on attention. It is equally called Dynamic Whitelisting Technology, unlike a typical Antivirus that blacklists applications and processes based on known attack signatures. Safensoft uses both blacklisting and dynamic whitelisting technology. SafenSoft TPSecure delivers three levels of ATMs, POS, and Self-Service security:
• Only authorized applications are permitted to be launched
• A secure environment in which no potentially-vulnerable applications can be executed
• Control over the activities of any application that is permitted to perform, by whom, and with the use of what devices

SafenSoft TPSecure preserves the Self-Service Kiosks through device integrity, with minimal impact on maintenance tasks and maximum flexibility. The system can be locked down completely, or applications can be executed in a secure environment, or individual or group policies can be applied that enable applications to be used for predetermined purposes and/or in predetermined circumstances only.

SafenSoft TPSecure prevents vulnerabilities from being exploited by using application consistency checks and launching of potentially vulnerable applications in a secure environment with limited privileges. This also means that patching no longer needs to be a real-time activity; all new OS or application patches can be tested before being applied, or avoided altogether, without introducing security risks.

For these reasons, SafenSoft TPSecure is the ideal ATMs/PoS/Self-Service Security solution with low bandwidth requirements, especially in situations where regular patching and updates are not possible.

Integration with existing ATM security and automated processing systems and other specialized applications

SafenSoft TPSecure can be customized to seamlessly provide protection for ATM and kiosk automatic processing applications and other specialized, high-risk applications:

Special Features:

Application consistency control.

Control over program code changes ensures that applications cannot be launched if the executable code has been modified.

Application executable code protection.
Executable modules are protected against modification by other applications.

Application data protection.
Read/write access to application data files and registry keys related to all other applications can be disabled.

All of these are meant to ensure that no external or robotic applications can maneuver the Self Service Kiosk to defraud the Bank.

We are available to provide a FREE PoC to protect 10 units of your ATMs/PoS/Self-Service Kiosks for 3 months to enable your Bank appreciate the efficacy of our protection solutions.
