Security is not an option

While “traditional” attack vectors are a significant and material threat to ATM operators, you're now facing a growing trend of “logical” attacks as well. These include the use of electronic devices and/or malware as a way of achieving an unauthorized dispense of cash from the ATM. With ATM crime continuing to rise and expand into nearly every region of the globe, NCR ATM endpoint security is the solution you can count on to protect your customers and your brand.

Protection of the ATM BIOS is a critical component of a comprehensive solution strategy to protect the ATM from logical attacks. An unsecured BIOS allows criminals boot the ATM up from alternative bootable media. Once this is done, the ATMs hard disk operating system is no longer up and running (offline), allowing criminals to disable security measures that are in place on the ATM today (including any anti-virus solution). Once this is done, malware can be inserted on to the ATM’s hard disk. This malware could be used to cash-out the ATM or to steal card data.

Protection of the ATM dispenser is a critical component of the comprehensive solution strategy to protecting the ATM from logical attacks. An unsecured dispenser could lead to criminal events, which will create an unauthorized dispense of cash from the ATM. These blackbox attacks or jackpotting incidents can come from the use of external electronic devices that send dispense commands to the ATM or from the use of malware on the ATM.
