Friday 4 November 2011 09:27 CET | News

East Carolina Bank, a community bank in North Carolina, has partnered US-based portable computing services provider IronKey to introduce IronKey Trusted Access, a service which prevents identity theft, payments fraud and online banking account takeover.

The company has also revealed plans to offer Trusted Access to retail customers as a downloadable software application instead of a portable USB. The Trusted Access is part of the IronKey Trusted Access Platform which enables financial institutions to reduce the risk of online banking fraud.

Trusted Access provides a web browser protected in a virtualized, read-only environment designed to protect online banking sessions from known and unknown crime ware. Trusted Access is set to protect online banking sessions against various attacks, including man-in-browser attack, keylogging, network monitoring and DNS tampering.

Attacks that would go undetected by anti-virus and other software technologies are also blocked.

In recent news, financial services provider Advanced Bank Solutions has joined forces with IronKey to provide its bank clients with the latter’s Trusted Access Platform.
