Symantec intros endpoint compliance solution for IP-based ATMs

November 20, 2005

CUPERTINO, Calif. - Symantec Corp. has completed a real-time endpoint compliance solution that allows for the full implementation of protected Internet protocol ATMs.

According to a news release, Symantec IP-ATM Security includes antivirus, host-intrusion prevention, device control, policy enforcement, remediation and control over managed and unmanaged endpoints to provide financial institutions with a secure and manageable ATM infrastructure.

To achieve ATM network flexibility, many FIs are moving from fixed-cost, proprietary networks to IP-based, Windows networks. Without continuous compliance and extraordinary protection, these ATMs are susceptible to threats like any other computer connected to the Internet, said David Miner, director of financial services solutions for Symantec. "The Symantec IP-ATM Security offering provides the flexibility needed to improve the customer experience while balancing the need for protecting information assets and cost effectively reducing risk with a complete, easy to administer and manage solution."

The Symantec IP-ATM Security solution includes Symantec Sygate Enterprise Protection, and if anti-virus protection is needed, Symantec AntiVirus Corporate Edition, and Symantec Ghost. FIs also can extend the solution capabilities to integrate early warning through Symantec's DeepSight Alert Services and DeepSight Threat Management Services, along with back-up and system recovery capabilities through the LiveState Recovery Suite.
