Reasons to protect ATM:

1. Preventing the risks of cyber-attacks theft of banknotes with a cash out attack (jackpotting) and carrying out unauthorized transactions: a) virtual bill acceptors b) distributed bulk unauthorized transactions with ATM networks
2. Compliance with regulatory requirements (PCI DSS and Region Central Banks)

SafenSoft offers a solution that provides a comprehensive approach to protecting ATMs and payment terminals. SoftControl TPSecure controls the launch and activity of applications, thereby ensuring the integrity of the software during operation and maintaining the system in the last known good condition. Thanks to this, the tool reliably protects the system from all types of malware, unauthorized changes and access to data, without the need for updates.

The ISSAN community audience showed particular interest in the mechanism for secure keyboard operation, as often gaining access to the ATM keyboard is the first step in hacking the system.

SafenSoft actively works with a partner network outside of Russia. In addition to Africa, the company works with partners from the CIS, the Middle East and Asia.
