Auriga, a technological solutions provider for omnichannel banking and payments industries, has acquired Lookwise Device Manager, a modular security platform and cybersecurity business unit from S21sec, a European-managed security services player and part of Sonae IM's portfolio.
Designed as an integrated security solution, LDM provides advanced and effective countermeasures to stop current and future generations of cyber-attacks, according to a company press release. It is a modular security platform that offers a broad range of functions to ensure protection, monitoring and control of critical devices. By integrating LDM into Auriga's WWS software suite customers will benefit from full protection, security monitoring and control of their networked devices, such as ATMs, point of sale terminals and critical infrastructure control systems.
"Ever-growing targeted attacks on self-service banking infrastructure are hugely disruptive and undermine trust in digital banking services," Vincenzo Fiore, founder and CEO of Auriga, said in the release. "By making LDM an integral component of our own software portfolio we can significantly build the most effective cyber risk management and security capabilities for our clients that protect growth in digital financial services across all channels. By adding in this cutting-edge technology and specialist expertise in ATM cybersecurity, we are re-affirming our strategy of evolving our product portfolio to meet the changing needs of our clients with the best-integrated technology platforms."
Auriga is a top international software solutions company, specialized in end-to-end systems that integrate the various delivery channels used in retail and internet banking.
