Gemalto's eBanking software protects banks from cyber threats [Mid-East.Info](Mid-East.Info Via Acquire Media NewsEdge) Dubai: Gemalto (Euronext NL0000400653 GTO), the world leader in digital security, has launched Ezio Armored Application, an entirely software-based solution that enables banks to quickly deploy secure eBanking applications on any PC. Ezio Armored Application secures eBanking end users against the latest generation of fraudulent and malicious cyber-attacks. The solution cuts validation processes of web applications as much as threefold, thus significantly reducing the demands placed on a bank's IT resources. Based on a locked down browser running within a dedicated desktop session, Ezio Armored Application establishes a secure connection to the eBanking website to protect against key logging and screen capture. This mechanism makes attacks such as man-in-the-browser or man in the middle much more difficult to carry out. Furthermore, it supports in-depth analysis of the security of end user environments, collecting comprehensive data for further assessments. Alongside enhanced operational efficiency and more robust protection from attacks, Gemalto's latest secure banking solution also encourages high levels of end user adoption. For eBanking customers, installment is as straightforward as clicking on a link to download the application. Accessing the eBanking portal then mirrors the experience of a traditional web browser. And by facilitating the introduction of user-friendly PC applications, Ezio Armored Application further boosts a bank's brand image and identity.
