Marketwired
Aladdin Knowledge Systems (NASDAQ: ALDN) today announced that
Alfa-Bank, one of Russia's largest privately owned financial
institutions, has deployed 20,000 Aladdin eToken USB smartcard
devices, providing its online customers with secure access to its
Web-based financial services. Using Aladdin eToken, customers can
process electronic documents, monitor transactions, contact the
bank, as well as import and export data to Alfa-Bank's accounting
systems.
Due to globally increasing rates of phishing, malware and other
Web-based threats, Alfa-Bank required an advanced authentication
solution to provide additional protection for its three million
customers worldwide to ensure secure banking through its online
system. The bank chose Aladdin eToken based on its ability to meet
strict criteria for advanced security, manageability and
reliability.
"When we started the project, Alfa-Bank was the leader in
providing client protection against Web-based threats," said Valery
Butenko, Deputy CIO of Alfa-Bank. "We had to very carefully select
the vendor providing the smartcard security solution that would
ensure maximum customer security and allegiance. Aladdin was able
to provide a custom solution to exactly fit our needs."
"Alfa-Bank is the latest example of global financial
institutions turning to strong authentication to protect themselves
and their customers from malicious Web exploits during online
banking sessions," said Shlomi Yanai, vice president of the
Authentication Business Unit at Aladdin Knowledge Systems. "There
is a growing trend within finance, healthcare, law enforcement and
other sensitive industries to use advanced smartcard identification
to restrict access, prevent fraud and ensure security when
conducting business online."
