Data Security, Portable Storage

Online banking sessions are becoming lucrative targets for hackers and thieves.  Dark Reading highlights a recent M86 Security report on attacks at a large UK bank.  These sophisticated thieves use malware to hijack the browser on the banking customer’s PC. 

Once the victims logged onto their online banking accounts, the attackers captured account numbers and user credentials. They employed a man-in-the-browser attack that intercepted the victim’s money transactions.

One way to prevent such attacks is by ensuring that all online banking is done from a trusted machine.  New advances in technology allow trusted virtual machines to boot from a Secure USB stick.  The online banking session can be conducted with a hardened browser and multi-factor authentication can be implemented to prevent unauthorized users.

With over $1 million stolen from this one banking institution alone, you can bet that similar attacks are targeting banking customers around the world.

Kanguru is introducing the new RocIT Defender Elite platform to US Army technology experts at the 2010 LandWarNet Conference this week.  RocIT Defender Elite is a Secure Mobile Operating System designed to meet military security needs, including support for CAC, PIV and Smart Cards.  Instead of using an untrusted host computer, users boot directly to a secure virtual OS running on the encrypted USB flash drive.  The local hardware is completely bypassed.  RocIT Defender Elite leaves no footprint on the host computer - meaning your privacy and data are secure.
