Wincor Nixdorf Introduces ProTect/Enterprise Security Server Software Solution

Posted on: Monday, 14 November 2005, 09:00 CST

Wincor Nixdorf, one of the global leaders in open ATM hardware and multi-vendor software solutions that improve branch efficiencies, today announced its ProTect/Enterprise Security Server software solution. ProTect/Enterprise Security Server software with RKL allows banks and independent ATM operators to securely manage and distribute terminal master keys electronically from a centralized, single location.

Master keys are required to ensure the protection of communications and authentication routines between ATMs and host/switch systems. Traditionally, master keys are made by key management systems and split into two halves, which are then entered into the ATM manually by two bank staff members -- a costly, man-power intensive procedure with security loopholes. ProTect/Enterprise Security Server software with RKL reduces the high cost of traditional manual distribution procedures by avoiding expensive site visits, and allows banks to distribute master keys in a fast, cost-effective and secure manner.

"With the ever increasing threat of ATM security, it is imperative that financial institutions continue to protect their ATM fleets," said John Tyler, Vice President, Wincor Nixdorf Banking USA. "ProTect/Enterprise Security Server software provides a solution that not only delivers industry compliancy, but also reduces security risks and bank operational costs."

ProTect/Enterprise Security Server software supports industry recognized open standards, including the J2EE architecture, and it allows easy integration into a variety of host systems. The solution will be demonstrated at the 2005 Retail Delivery Conference & Expo, November 15-17 at the Orange County Convention Center in Orlando, Florida in booth #1161.
