Download the 2025 White Paper: Armor Your ATMs: A Proactive Defense Against Evolving Threats
As ATM-related crime evolves — from physical jackpotting and ram raids to AI-enhanced fraud tactics — financial institutions must stay several steps ahead. This white paper is a comprehensive roadmap for strengthening ATM and ITM security across physical infrastructure, cyber protections, and AI-enabled prevention strategies.
Key Takeaways:
- Jackpotting and Logical Attacks Are on the Rise: Criminals are using rogue devices and unsecured BIOS settings to drain machines of cash, often without triggering alarms.
- Safe Upgrades Are Critical: Shift from UL-rated safes to CEN 3 or 4 GasEx safes for stronger resistance against tool-based and explosive attacks.
- Layered Protection Works Best: Combine physical barriers, smart kiosks, alarm monitoring, and camera surveillance to create a deterrent-rich environment.
- 12 Tactical Tips to Prevent Jackpotting: From BIOS lockdowns to firewall rules and password policies, layered cyber hygiene is key to blocking logical attacks.
- AI Is Changing the Game: AI-enhanced fraud detection, facial recognition, and environmental monitoring help detect abnormal behavior in real time.
- Annual Penetration Testing Is Essential: Regular simulated attacks expose vulnerabilities before criminals can exploit them.
- Hardening the Windows OS and Full Disk Encryption: These are no longer optional—they are foundational.
