Gemalto eBanking solution increases online security for BBVA Bancomer in Mexico, with world class convenience
(Thomson Reuters ONE) -
Amsterdam, April 7, 2016 - Gemalto (Euronext NL0000400653 GTO), the world leader
in digital security, announces that BBVA Bancomer, the largest bank in Mexico,
is using its Ezio® Suite to secure growing internet banking and mobile banking
usage in Mexico. The new solution leverages the benefits of Ezio optical
technologies to validate transactions. Fraud, social engineering and phishing
attacks present a difficult challenge. The Ezio Suite gives banks the power and
flexibility to quickly deploy authentication and transaction signing solutions
to defend against attack, while maintaining best in class user experience.
The Gemalto Ezio eBanking solution for BBVA Bancomer allows customers to use a
password and a token, either physical or mobile stored in a smartphone or
tablet, for strong two-factor authentication (2FA). The bank now adds an optical
feature leveraging WYSWYS methodology (What You See is What You Sign), which
provides a third factor to defend against attacks during new payee registration.
The solution is designed to be easy to use: customers simply select "mobile QR
token" or "optical reading token" options during the new payee registration
process. The solution generates a time-limited optical or QR Code that is read
optically with the user's token or mobile device to authenticate the transaction
and deliver convenience and trust.
"Gemalto's flexible Ezio technology allowed us to quickly expand security
features without a major overhaul of our existing infrastructure," said Héctor
Carrera, Digital Solutions Director at BBVA Bancomer. "We seized the optical
functionality to protect against phishing and social engineering scams and
within days of deployment, the customer acceptance rate was 100 percent,
allowing us to cut fraud on this strategic channel up to 90%."
"Last year, Mexican banks registered nearly three million cases of suspected
fraud, representing 3% more security threats than the previous year(1)," said
Rodrigo Serna, President for the Americas at Gemalto. "Gemalto's Ezio technology
provides the agility banks need to quickly respond to emerging threats like
phishing schemes. The adoption rate among BBVA Bancomer customers has reached
100%, evidencing world class convenience."
