Will Focus on Emerging Trends in Retail Banking Self-Service and ATM Security



Diebold showcases latest innovations, presents expert ATM security insights and best practices



NORTH CANTON, Ohio, Oct. 16 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- As new trends arise and complex threats emerge around the world, Diebold, Incorporated (NYSE: DBD) is fully dedicated to developing solutions to help financial institutions strategically meet their most pressing goals while reducing costs, enhancing the user experience and mitigating risks. Thomas W. Swidarski, Diebold president and chief executive officer, will speak to these topics through the perspective of progressive financial institutions around the world in his keynote presentation, "ATM Revolution - Capitalizing on the New Trends in the ATM Industry," at this year's ATM, Debit & Prepaid Forum in Las Vegas, Nev.



"As the ATM environment becomes increasingly complex, financial institutions can enhance operations and deliver greater value across the board through outsourcing their non-core operations. By enlisting experts to manage all aspects of the self-service channel, institutions can realize exceptional value through heightened security and improved quality of products and services for consumers," Swidarski said. "Outsourcing empowers financial institutions to meet consumer demand for the industry's leading technologies, while freeing them to dedicate valuable resources to their primary objective - increasing customer satisfaction."



During the forum, special emphasis will be given to the many facets of ATM security as rapidly escalating threats challenge the global financial services industry. In addition, Diebold's experts will discuss and demonstrate the company's standard-setting innovations, including the recent launches of forward-thinking technologies such as rapid processing, the next generation of deposit automation, and Diebold's mobile banking solution, MobiTransact(TM).



Addressing ATM security, one of the most technologically complex operational challenges today, Diebold will host industry authority Dr. Peter Tippett, vice president, technology and innovation, Verizon Business, and creator of the first commercial anti-virus product. In his address, "Can you Afford to Ignore Risk? Emerging Threats in the ATM Industry," Tippett will discuss recent ATM crime investigations to provide best practices in compliance management and risk planning, and help attendees identify vulnerabilities in their own networks.



Diebold industry experts will also exhibit ways to improve a financial institution's security environment to help combat identity theft and credential management, internal fraud and regulatory compliance, and card skimming and PIN interception.



Booth demonstrations also will include innovations in deposit automation. Diebold's rapid processing technology enables note and check deposits executed in a single transaction. Featuring the simultaneous operation of two modules at the ATM, this capability greatly increases transaction speed resulting in shorter wait times at the ATM.



Diebold will present MobiTransact, its mobile banking technology that will empower financial institutions to build customer relationships by enabling timely interactions with customers through their cell phone. And, with MobiTransact, Diebold will introduce improvements in security, specifically addressing the highly vulnerable area of skimming. Diebold's mobile banking solution integrates self-service channels, improves transaction security and is available as a managed service.
