Trusteer Takes Top Honor at 2010 SC Awards, Europe

Rappport Heralded as Leading Solution for Securing Browser Communication from Keyboard to Website



LONDON--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Trusteer, the market’s leading provider of secure browsing services, today announced that it has been named “Best Secure Transactions Solution” in the 2010 SC Awards Europe competition. Trusteer took top honors for Rapport, a lightweight browser solution supported by 24x7 security analysis and reporting services

“For more than 30 years, SC Magazine has held one of the most prestigious and coveted awards in the European information security industry. These awards honor professionals working to secure enterprises and the vendor and channel communities that deliver the most innovative security technologies. For 2010, the judges have declared that Rapport is the best of the best when it comes to securing transactions.

“As the volume and frequency of online transactions continues to grow – unfortunately – so does the sophistication of malware designed to disrupt these transactions,” said Mickey Boodaei, CEO of Trusteer. “Rapport goes above and beyond what traditional security products can accomplish. Unlike solutions which rely on strong authentication, transaction verification and transaction monitoring, Rapport actually protects the data itself – securing Web sessions from start to finish. We’re honored that the industry experts at SC Magazine have chosen to recognize Trusteer for our vision and market leadership.”



Rapport is specifically designed to block financial malware on a machine from hijacking Web browser sessions and transactions, stealing sensitive data such as account credentials and using them to commit online fraud. It creates a vault around data entered and presented in the browser, maintains a tunnel for safe communication with the destination Web site and prevents redirection to look-alike Web sites. The end result for website users is a dramatic reduction in fraud and improved confidence in Web banking, while Rapport provides comprehensive fraud fighting intelligence to financial institutions.



Rapport includes a lightweight browser security solution and cloud-based analysis and reporting services. It is offered for download by online businesses such as banks and also to individuals via Trusteer’s Web site. The solution can be installed in-flow when a customer visits the online business Web site. This one-time process takes only a few seconds.



Award winners were notified at a special ceremony hosted by SC Magazine on Tuesday, April 27 at the Wyndham Grand London, Chelsea Harbour. For more information on the awards and ceremony, please visit http://www.scawardseurope.com/homepage.html
