Key Features of IronKey Trusted Access for Banking
*Information derived from the latest MarketWire Press Release.
TRUSTED ACCESS PROVIDES SECURITY AGAINST THE FOLLOWING ATTACKS
- DNS tampering: Provides authoritative DNS lookups that are not dependent on local network or ISP settings and are delivered through an encrypted tunnel
- Phoney websites: Prevents loading of unauthorized content and websites using automatic whitelist protection
- Network monitoring: Encrypts all network access through a secure tunnel so Trojans are unable to monitor DNS lookups and website access to identify online banking activity
- Unauthorized and revoked certificates: Checks certificate status in real-time using the industry standard Online Certificate Status Protocol (OCSP) so that bad certificates aren’t accepted even when revoked by the certificate authority
HOW IT WORKS
- Connect the Trusted Access security device to the USB port to launch the virtual online banking environment.
- Commencing at the bank’s home page, the user is restricted to navigating only bank-authorised sites
- For malware protection, there is a secure encrypted connection to online banking to prevent man-in-the-middle and DNS attacks.
- Encrypted keyboard input protects users from keyloggers that can steal user names and passwords.
