Finance
Banks and trading platforms require airtight record security and endpoint authenticity.
Trust that regulators and customers can verify
High-value targets
Transaction systems and ATMs are attacked continuously, by well-resourced groups with commercial motives.
Insider risk
Keys held in software can be copied. Keys bound to hardware cannot leave the machine they were created on.
Audit and compliance
Financial regulators expect demonstrable control over endpoint integrity, not assurances.
Where Trusted Computing Makes a Difference
Transaction Record Security
Genuine OS Builds
ATM Jackpotting
Endpoint Recovery
Branch Network Access
Regulatory Compliance
Transaction Record Security
Encrypt transaction logs and customer data with keys that never leave hardware, reducing insider leak risk.
Genuine OS Builds
Ensure servers and ATMs boot only unaltered operating system images, verified against trusted measurements.
ATM Jackpotting
Verify ATM firmware integrity to prevent the malware implants used to force cash dispensing.
Endpoint Recovery
Re-establish trusted endpoints after a tampering attempt, without manual reimaging on site.
Branch Network Access
Bind device identities to each branch network, blocking rogue or counterfeit hardware from connecting.
Regulatory Compliance
Produce verifiable evidence of platform integrity to support audit and compliance requirements.
The trusted computing stack behind Finance
Trusted Platform Module (TPM)
TPM-protected key storage encrypts transaction logs and customer data, reducing risks of insider leaks or offshore data dumps. Secure boot ensures servers and ATMs run genuine, unaltered OS builds.
Cyber Resilient Technologies (CyRes)
CyRes re-establishes trusted endpoints after tampering attempts, without manual reimaging.
Platform Certificates
Platform certificates bind device identities to each branch's network, blocking rogue or counterfeit access attempts.
Reference Integrity Manifest (RIM)
FIM/RIM inspections verify ATM firmware integrity, preventing malware implants used in "jackpotting" attacks.
The Work Groups shaping finance standards
