East Carolina Bank to Launch New Secure Browsing Service From IronKey


Nov 07, 2011 (Close-Up Media via COMTEX) -- East Carolina Bank announced it will offer its customers IronKey Trusted Access, a secure browsing solution that prevents identity theft, payments fraud and online banking account takeover.

Available initially to business customers in a Trusted Access portable USB form factor, the bank reported plans to offer retail customers Trusted Access as a downloadable software application in the future. Both form factors provide customers a way to access their online accounts.



"Our customers' security is one of the highest priorities at our bank. Businesses, local governments, and consumers across the country are unknowingly being targeted on their computers by criminal gangs. As a foundational part of our local North Carolina commitment, East Carolina Bank is pleased to partner with IronKey to keep our customers and their assets safe," said James J. Burson, executive vice president and chief revenue officer. "IronKey Trusted Access brings the security and safety our customers feel when visiting our bank locations to their online banking. This is just one more way that East Carolina Bank is innovating to leapfrog our competition. Trusted Access is part of our bank's strategy to grow our customer base." East Carolina Bank's new Trusted Access service is an online security solution that protects its customers from the growing number of online threats. The Anti-Phishing Working Group estimates that 25 percent of all computers are infected with crimeware designed to steal money.

"East Carolina Bank is bringing the highest level of online banking security to its customers in North Carolina by offering IronKey Trusted Access," said Arthur Wong, CEO of IronKey. "The bank's customers can now feel confident when they go online to conduct business that their transactions and assets are safe. This puts East Carolina Bank well ahead of their competition."
