One of the current aims of ATM fraud is theft of clients’ bank-card data. ATM technology has evolved over time, improving the user’s experience and the range of services and functions offered. The downside of this progress is increasing security problems associated with more open and better-known environments.

The Russian banking company Severgazbank, mindful of this problem, has found in  checker ATM Security^® the ideal ATM security-hardening solution, setting up GMV’s security tool in its whole network of almost 600 ATMs. GMV has won this important contract on the strength of its close and ongoing collaboration with its local partner HENDZ.

checker ATM Security^® is the first ever product specifically designed and developed to harden the security of financial self-service systems, enabling security to be managed in a centralized way (including control of applications being run at that time), control of local and remote resources accessible from the machine and control of authorized communications.

Breaking into the Russian bank security market is a huge step forward for checker. The system is now up and running in a total of nearly 100,000 ATMs in Spain, Mexico, Brazil, Chile, Colombia, the USA, Ukraine, Russia, Italy, India and Thailand, among others, making it a worldwide ATM security benchmark.
