Last week, Brian Krebs of Krebs
on Security made an informative post on ways that both businesses and their
banks can improve their efficient e-banking protections, and possibly mitigate
or significantly decrease the risk of falling victim to cyber attacks. Krebs’
information comes from a senior member of the
Office of the Comptroller of the Currency, a key federal banking regulatory
body.
All Krebs’ suggestions are sound and informative, but what
specifically caught our eye was his emphasis on the use of verification in
addition to authentication in the recommended security measures for small and
medium-sized businesses. According to Krebs, verification also plays a leading
role in what federal regulators will be searching for when examining your
business’ security measures.
EVS understands the important role that verification now
plays in thorough security systems, and integrates id authentication and id verification measures into comprehensive single-lookup.
