Real facts on ATM security
The arrival of common computer operating systems onto the financial self-service scene, together with the use of IP networks for communications services, has resulted in a considerable increase in security risks for Automatic Teller Machines. Attacking ATM networks well organized and in a very highly sophisticated way, is a clear trend today in places like Eastern Europe or Latin America, and it will definitely become a very uncomfortable reality in the most advanced countries very soon.
While typical attacks like skimming are little by little, being controlled, other types of attacks are beginning to rise. For example the Skimmer malware, expanded in a few countries at the end of 2008 does just that. So, once you manage to introduce malware in the ATM, why not use it to withdraw cash? And even more, once an ATM has being infected and the cash withdrawal comes from the ATM’s inside, how can banks detect, and prevent this new type of fraud?

An ATM or a Kiosc, must be compliant with a high number of requisites that makes a very difficult task to design a compact solution. ATMs or Kioscs must support multiple applications, each one more complex that the other, most of the times running over obsolete systems, with reduced resources and very often discontinued.
Ideally we would require just one ATM security product that would do three simple things:
- Provides generation and management of the ATM-specific security policies, that could automatically be translated into rules for security controls.
- Enforces this rules (being it regarding execution, access, communication or any other security requirement) using one single, low footprint security product in the ATM.
- Provides centralized monitoring of compliance, including all required audit features.
