KOBIL Systems is a German manufacturer of mobile IT-products in the field of data security and digital identity. The company developed KOBIL mIDentity that is deployed by renowned banks and businesses. BBVA (Suiza) SA is a bank in Switzerland that decided to implement KOBIL’s mobile security solutions.
BBVA (Suiza) SA wished to implement a secure, modern and mobile solution for e-banking customers.
This solution replaces the current OTP-Technology. Due to the fully developed processes and the implementation in every IT-infrastructure it was possible to realise the whole project within only one quarter from the signing of the contract to the going live. The mIDentity will be available for free for all e-Banking clients by January 2011.
“The perfect cooperation between KOBIL and BBVA (Suiza) SA made it possible to conclude this challenging project successfully within only one quarter. We value the cooperation with BBVA (Suiza) SA very much as we have gained another internationally operating bank for the mIDentity technology as this technology fulfills the high security and operating requirements completely,” says Claudio Retica, country manager Swiss from KOBIL.
The mIDentity protects the bank and the clients against criminal attacks and infected PCs while using a hardened browser which is preconfigured exclusively for the online banking with BBVA (Suiza) SA. The bank customer information is thus completely prevented from Phishing and other criminal attacks. In case of losing the mIDentity the finder won’t be able to use the device as he does not know the respective PIN.
mIDentity ensures the user of a zero adherence access to its bank account from every PC worldwide and of being protected against any use, tapping or spying by a third party.
