ebankIT Platform ensures cybersecurity and customer satisfaction

Ensuring cybersecurity and customer satisfaction in 2024 for financial institutions and their clients is a complex challenge. Banks and credit unions must prove that they can protect sensitive data and maintain a high level of customer trust if they wish to keep their account holders.

In order to appeal to customers, financial institutions need to embrace a strategic approach that emphasizes transparent security measures and proactive communication. This approach not only builds trust but also differentiates them in a competitive market.

Strong, smart, secure: discover some of ebankIT’s security features

1. Multi-factor authentication (MFA)

One of the cornerstone features of ebankIT's robust security framework is multi-factor authentication. Unlike traditional password-based authentication, which relies solely on something a user knows (i.e., a password), MFA requires additional verification steps to verify the user's identity. This multi-layered approach significantly reduces the risk of unauthorized access, even if passwords are compromised.

MFA significantly increases the complexity for attackers trying to gain unauthorized access. Many regulatory standards and compliance frameworks, such as PCI DSS (Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard) and GDPR (General Data Protection Regulation), mandate the use of MFA to protect sensitive data and financial transactions. 

Despite the added security layers, modern MFA solutions are designed to be user-friendly. ebankIT ensures that authentication processes are seamless and integrated into the user experience, minimizing inconvenience without compromising security.

2. Threat and fraud detection

By analyzing patterns such as login times, transaction types, and device usage, the system can identify deviations that may indicate suspicious activity. For instance, if a user typically logs in from one geographic location and suddenly attempts to access their account from a different country, the system flags this as an anomaly.

This proactive approach allows for the swift identification and mitigation of potential security threats, ensuring that fraudulent activities are caught early and customer accounts remain secure.

ebankIT uses machine learning algorithms to analyze vast amounts of data to recognize the subtle signs of potential fraud or breaches that might be missed by traditional security systems. By continuously learning and adapting to new threats, these intelligent systems enable financial institutions to respond quickly and effectively to potential risks.

This real-time detection capability ensures that ebankIT can protect its clients and their customers against evolving cyber threats, maintaining the integrity and security of their financial data.

3. Data encryption

End-to-end encryption is a fundamental security measure employed by ebankIT to ensure that sensitive information is comprehensively protected from interception and unauthorized access.

This robust security feature involves encrypting data both in transit and at rest, providing multiple layers of protection for customer information and financial transactions.

Whenever data is transmitted between the user's device and the bank's servers, it is encrypted using advanced encryption protocols. This ensures that even if data is intercepted during transmission, it remains unintelligible and useless to any unauthorized parties.

ebankIT employs Transport Layer Security (TLS) to secure data exchanges, safeguarding information such as login credentials, account details, and transaction records from eavesdropping, tampering, and man-in-the-middle attacks.

Equally important is the encryption of data at rest—information stored on the bank's servers or within the user’s device. By encrypting this data, ebankIT ensures that even if the storage systems are compromised, the information remains protected.

Advanced encryption standards (AES) are typically used to secure stored data, providing a robust defense against unauthorized access. This means that customer data, including sensitive information like account balances, transaction histories, and personal identification details, is encrypted and inaccessible to cybercriminals without the appropriate decryption keys.
