NCR Solidcore Suite for APTRA Brochure

With today’s banking environment depending more than ever on convenience and trust, there is no room for compromise when it comes to securing your self-service channel. The self-service industry needs a new, tailored approach to atm security that addresses all potential risks, not just traditional threats such as viruses, worms and trojans. There are emerging threats such as memory-based attacks—not addressed by typical anti-virus products. And the fastest growing atm security threat is from insider attacks. This could be a fraudulent attempt to exploit the automated teller machine (ATM) or even a well-intentioned attempt to deploy an untested patch in haste that could bring the network down. The risk of non-compliance is also a growing due to the Payment Card Industry introducing a data security standard to address the growing global threat of identity theft and card fraud.

Any security approach for the ATM environment has to offer complete protection from all threats—known or unknown— while also ensuring that ATM performance is not affected in any way.

The NCR Solidcore Suite for APTRA includes comprehensive ATM security with Solidcore for APTRA and centralized management with reporting and alerts through Solidcore Control and Compliance for APTRA.

Solidcore for APTRA
Proactive install and forget ATM security Solidcore for APTRA from NCR changes all the rules of traditional software security approaches, offering total protection against all threats with comprehensive, transparent security. With Solidcore for APTRA, only authorized code can run. Disc and memory protection mean that authorized code cannot be tampered with, there can be no modifications or deletions and the system cannot be hijacked. All this comes without the operational overheads of traditional approaches to security such as anti-virus, rules or behaviour-based systems. These traditional approaches to security are very reactive and do not offer zero day protection (protection even before a threat emerges). Either a virus signature has to be published and deployed, rules updated or behaviour modified before the system can be protected. Until then your ATMs could be at risk.

Solidcore for APTRA, on the other hand, is proactive. Even before a new threat emerges, the ATM is protected because only authorized code can run.
