First Community Bank Prevx Safe Online Rollout & Best Practice Presentation
Given the increasing cyber threats and Trojans that specifically target business on-line bank accounts, we at First Community Bank looked for some options to offer customers to help protect their on-line banking sessions. In the recent past, we've had a few customers infected with the Zeus or related Trojans, which led to some attempted ACH fraud. We found a vendor that offered a product that helps protect users when they log into a web site such as on-line banking. The vendor is Prevx. The product we are offering is Prevx 'SafeOnline'. We went live 2/22/2010 with this offering. This software is offered for free to our customers. It provides protection of the on-line sessions as well as some anti-virus like scanning. It protects from the key board thru the browser to the website. The vendor advertises it as still protecting the on-line banking sessions even if the PC is infected. Note - The free version will scan for viruses, but will not remove the viruses. A user can upgrade to a full version that removes the infections for a nominal annual fee. This software is compatible with other security products and anti- virus software
