Prevents malware from compromising commercial and consumer Online Banking Accounts; enables bank to comply with new FFIEC guidelines
BOSTON: Trusteer, the leading provider of endpoint cybercrime prevention solutions, yesterday announced that State Bank and Trust Company had experienced zero incidents of account takeover fraud since it deployed Trusteer Pinpoint and Trusteer Rapport for Online Banking to protect its commercial and retail customers from financial malware.
State Bank and Trust selected Trusteer because it provides 100 percent coverage against financial fraud, automatically removes malware infections on customer devices and provides layered endpoint protection specified by the FFIEC Supplemental Guidance on Internet Banking Authentication.
State Bank & Trust has 35 banking locations throughout Mississippi, Louisiana, and Alabama with total assets of nearly $1Billion. It uses Internet banking technology from Jack Henry Banking for its online applications.
“We wanted to protect our commercial and retail online banking customers from account takeover fraud and comply with the new FFIEC online banking security guidelines,” said Kent Savage, CIO for State Bank and Trust Company.
“After evaluating several vendors, we selected and implemented Trusteer for its ease of deployment, transparency to end users and the fact that it did not create any additional work for our IT staff,” he added.
“Trusteer Rapport is currently being offered to our clients to prevent malware from infecting their computers and compromising their browsers. Meanwhile, Trusteer Pinpoint protects customers by detecting the presence of malware on all computers, even if Trusteer Rapport is not installed, before they login to the online banking application. This provides us with 100 percent coverage against malware-driven fraud. If malware is found, they are asked to download Trusteer Rapport to remove the malware and protect their online banking session. ”
