WASHINGTON – Treasury Department FCU has selected Trusteer’s Rapport to meet the new regulatory security guidelines for online banking security and protect its members from malware aimed at stealing funds and personal information.
The $160-million credit union said it chose Trusteer for an endpoint security solution that would protect against zero-day malware and phishing attacks, and also allow it to comply with the updated Federal Financial Institutions Examination Council guidelines being introduced in January 2012.
Trusteer said Rapport provides the following capabilities: prevents malware from installing on the computer and accessing information inside the browser; is simple to install, requires zero configuration, and does not force users to change the way they bank online; detects malware activity and removes the files associated with it; monitors web pages loaded into the browser and removes malicious content that tries to exploit vulnerabilities in the browser or its add-ons; and, it includes a rapid response cycle which updates all instances of the software around the world within minutes when a new threat is detected.
