Keeping ATMs secure from attacks is a never-ending battle. Just when one area of attack is shut off, criminals discover a different vulnerability. One such vulnerability is Man in the Middle attacks, which can be difficult to detect as they imitate a legitimate transaction. In today's episode of the Bank Customer Experience podcast, Bradley Cooper, editor of ATM Marketplace spoke with Levi Daily, chief technology officer at Cook Solutions Group, and Michael Strange, director of technology services at Cook Solutions Group, about how to respond to new ATM security threats like Man in the Middle attacks. \"Criminal organizations and gangs have identified vulnerabilities including weak security protocols and a general lack of awareness around ATMs. As ATMs become more connected and criminal organizations start using more sophisticated tools and techniques, these sorts of attacks will increase, \" Strange said in an email statement following the podcast. During this discussion, Strange and Daily gave an in-depth explanation of ATM security topics including: What are the most common threats? Are there any regions getting hit harder than others? How do Man in the Middle attacks work? How can a layered defense help prevent these attacks? You can listen to the podcast in its entirety above.
