Kaspersky Lab, SafenSoft intro security solution for ATMs, payment kiosks

August 8, 2013

Kaspersky Lab has created a specialized ATM and payment kiosk protection program for the largest credit union in Ecuador. The solution was created by Kaspersky Lab partner SafenSoft, and integrates the Kaspersky Anti-Virus SDK engine.

A news release from SafenSoft said that the complex solution coupled with Kaspersky Lab antivirus protection helps avert both known threats and zero day exploits, even in targeted attacks.

"We are thrilled that our technologies, the antivirus engine in particular, became the crucial part in the newest security solutions capable of repelling various threats and attacks on ATMs and self-service terminals," said Abelino Ochoa, general manager of Kaspersky Lab in Latin America.

SafenSoft CEO Michael Kalinichenko said that the security project was completed in just two months, with the help or SafenSoft partner GMS. The short turnaround will allow the company to meet the demands of the Ecuadorian market and begin working on other countries in the region sooner than anticipated.

"The Latin American market desperately needs a self-service device security solution preventing any attempts to modify the system."
