Introduction
Automatic Transfer Machines (ATMs) are widely adopted in the banking industry to offer self-service such as money transfers, withdrawals and deposits, information requests, and more. ATMs are located everywhere and they are required to store sensitive data so they must provide the highest data security protection. Most ATMs are open 24 hours a day; therefore on-site support needs to be performed as quickly as possible, and system operators have to employ (or outsource) several engineers and pay costly overtime which adds to the total cost of ownership. Furthermore, a critical task of ATMs is to secure customer’s personal information such as security ID numbers and bank account information, so systems need to be installed with security software firewalls to avoid virus attacks, and data theft by hackers. This is where Advantech’s ATM dedicated Industrial Motherboard AIMB-501 with SUSIAccess Pro 2.0 comes in.

Application Requirements
One of China’s ATM manufactures in the banking industry was looking for an Industrial motherboard with rich I/O features for their new security-sensitive ATM system solution. They needed it to have enhanced security functions for personal data protection and for internet data transfers. After researching the market, they found Advantech provided a serious ATM/KIOSK focused industrial motherboard with exclusive SUSIAccess Pro 2.0 software integrated. It was a perfect to fit their ATM project requirements.

Project Implementation
They decided to choose Advantech's MicroATX AIMB-501 pre-loaded with SUSIAccess Pro 2.0 providing intelligent remote device management and monitoring, system recovery and banking-level system security features—assured by McAfee and Acronis. With SUSIAccess Pro 2.0 on their device, ATM administrators can remotely switch machines on and off, access the desktop,recover a system, and configure protection features. AIMB-501’s rich I/O offers high connectivity and expansion options for ATM system integrators to integrate and manage multiple peripherals.

SUSIAccess delivers complete system protection powered by McAfee, which is able to prevent malware and hacker intrusion, as well as controlling what software installs and runs. Furthermore, it has an Auto Notify Administrator function which will warn of any unauthorized activities. McAfee provides an effective way to block unauthorized applications and code and eliminates the need for IT administrators to manually maintain lists of approved applications. Only authorized software is allowed to run, and it cannot be tampered with. By using a single, integrated management platform, companies can greatly reduce the number of IT resources needed to manage endpoint security with multiple consoles. Backed by McAfee and Acronis, SUSIAccess Pro 2.0 and AIMB-501 provides intelligent remote device management and monitoring, system recovery and banking-level system security features.
