ABA endorses Easy Solutions as choice for digital threat protection

The American Bankers Association (ABA) has endorsed Easy Solutions as its recommended anti-phishing and digital threat protection solution for ABA members.

The Miami-based company was endorsed after extensive due diligence by ABA’s Endorsed Solutions’ Banker Advisory Council and research support by the cybersecurity company Bancsec.

While digital channels provide growth opportunities for banks, they also bring the possibility of online attacks, Bryan Luke, chairman of ABA’s Endorsed Solutions Banker Advisory Council, said.

“We selected Easy Solutions because they offer a holistic brand protection suite, which includes comprehensive coverage as well as unique detection and intelligence to protect the bank’s customer accounts, email addresses and personal information from fraudsters,” Luke, who is also president and COO of Hawaii National Bank in Honolulu, said.

Easy Solutions protects 385 different financial institutions and more than 100 million users from digital and online. Services include continuous monitoring and analysis of email, web, and social media channels as well as rapid removal of identified attacks.

“The concept of digital trust will continue to gain traction in 2017 as criminals are motivated to infect any type of digital interactions with banks in pursuit of relevant information that will enable them to successfully launch and monetize fraudulent attacks,” Ricardo Villadiego, CEO of Easy Solutions, said. “Banks understand the importance of mitigating any online risks and implementing a multi-layered approach to security. We’re excited that ABA is endorsing Easy Solutions’ Digital Threat Protection solution.”
