Diebold’s latest innovation uses two-factor authentication to identify ATM technicians and track activities NORTH CANTON, Ohio, Oct. 19 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ — As attacks against automated teller machines (ATMs) and customer transaction data become increasingly sophisticated, effectively authenticating all users at the self-service channel is growing more critical by the day for financial institutions. To help strengthen access control during service calls, Diebold, Incorporated (NYSE: DBD) has released ValiTech(®),( )a two-factor authentication technology that uses a secure USB device to identify and authorize technicians who service ATMs. An important component of Diebold’s multilayered security strategy, ValiTech works in concert with Diebold security technologies designed to protect the entire ATM channel. Engineered in-house by Diebold for heightened security efficiency, ValiTech is an innovative solution that provides authorized Diebold service personnel with secure access to the system level of the ATM. This technology not only delivers an additional layer of protection for financial institutions through access control, it also provides a detailed audit trail. Moreover, Diebold’s ValiTech technology helps financial institutions comply with important Payment Card Industry Data Security Standards (PCI DSS) developed and enforced by PCI’s Security Standards Council. Prior to the introduction of ValiTech, Diebold technicians had to secure a temporary password, provided by the financial institution, each time a service call required a technician to access the system level of the ATM. This practice holds true for any service technician accessing an institution’s ATM, requiring multiple calls and generating numerous temporary passwords. Diebold’s ValiTech links each authorized service technician to a USB hardware cryptographic device – or token – using a digital certificate from VeriSign(®). Access is further controlled through a PIN or pass phrase, set by and known only to the technician, which ties the technician to the digital certificate and the USB device. Through ValiTech, the ATM can uniquely identify the authorized Diebold associate who is accessing the system and grant restricted authorization to the unit’s system functions based on the technician’s role and status. ValiTech then creates a unique audit trail documenting each time a technician is granted access and records all menu activities executed during the service call

Panamanian incumbent Cable & Wireless Panama’s (C&WP’s) nationwide backbone network has been upgraded by US-based network solutions provider Ciena Corporation. Under a deal between the two companies Ciena has deployed its CN 4200 FlexSelect platforms, which the vendor said features multiple chassis sizes for deployment from the customer premises to the core of long haul regional networks, as well as offering full service transparency, performance monitoring for Ethernet and SONET/SDH services, industry-first software-programmable ports and scalability to true, single wavelength 100G capacity. Initially C&WP had only selected Ciena’s CN 4200 for a specific application – a transport network connecting Ethernet-based security cameras mounted in streets and public areas throughout the metropolitan area for the Panama City police department – but the telco decided to implement the technology across its entire network on the back of the initial deployment.
