Security Bank Corporation Chooses Arcot WebFortFor 50 years, Security Bank Corporation (SBC) has been widely acknowledged as one of the most progressive and best-managed corporations in the banking industry. With 114 branches, SBC is among the fastest-growing Philippines banks. Since its founding in 1951, SBC has grown continuously while prudently maintaining profitability — despite decades of local political, social and economic upheaval. Security: simple yet strongSBC continually works to improve its focus on building strong banking relationships with customers. Arcot's WebFort solution fit the bill. This cost-effective, software-only, two-factor, strong-authentication solution was the perfect choice to protect and verify the online identities of SBC's corporate customers. WebFort uses a two-factor authentication system to guard customers' identities. The solution is equivalent to systems that use a combination of hardware and software, but is far simpler to implement. WebFort protectionWebFort adds the strength of public key infrastructure (PKI) to SBC's login process. At the same time, the solution supports simple username/password access. SBC's use of WebFort requires no expensive hardware tokens, client-side plug-ins or extra software installations. Arcot's SBC application includes the ArcotID Flash client. This client lets WebFort take advantage of Adobe Flash (which already sits on most computer desktops) to give the bank's customers simple-to-use online security. No security warnings or pop-up messages mean fewer customer calls to the help desk. Users log in as before, using their existing usernames and passwords. Behind the scenes, WebFort now secures customers' information and transactions. "Arcot's secure and cost-efficient WebFort solution is ideal for us, as we are able to protect our corporate customers' online identities with strong (PKI) security, without changing their experience with our Web site or the way they log into our banking services," said Numeriano Amparo, SBC's corporate transaction banking head. Choosing our software-only solution has helped SBC protect its busy corporate customers from phishing, key logging and man-in-the-middle and brute-force attacks — without burdening them with new client-side plugins or installations.
