ATMIA announces translations of best practices for preventing ATM gas, explosive attacks

October 24, 2013

The ATM Industry Association has published translations of "Best Practices for Preventing ATM Gas & Explosive Attacks" in French, German, Spanish and Portuguese (both European and Brazilian). An Italian version will be released in November.

"ATM gas and explosive attacks are at fairly serious levels in at least six European countries and therefore it is entirely appropriate that this is the first best practice manual that we first translated into several European languages," said Flora Hamilton, executive director of ATMIA Europe. "We believe this manual will help to greatly reduce the frequency of this kind of attack."

The manual features eight case studies that describe the industry's response to gas and explosive attacks in six European countries, as well as Australia and Brazil. Executive summaries have also been made available in all languages.

ATMIA members can download the best practices publication from the organization's best practices library.

"Translations of ATM best practices into six languages shows ATMIA is serious about communicating its security best practices across all ATM markets," said ATMIA CEO Mike Lee. "The association is crossing language barriers to assist these countries in tackling this problem as effectively as possible."

Support for the translations was provided by Oberthur Cash Protection and partner companies Diusframi Sistemas and Microsafe.
