Best Practices

How strong is your online defense?

It's critical to be protected from online threats when utilizing online banking services such as SinglePoint. Unfortunately, many companies grossly overestimate their level of protection or they feel financial loss via cybercriminal activity will not happen to them. In fact, depending on anti-virus software packages alone is not enough to protect against online threats. Why? Anti-virus software only catches, on average, 5% of new threats -- leaving you vulnerable to the wicked games of cybercriminals.¹

Security professionals agree that the strongest defense from cybercriminals is through the use of layered multiple technologies.² U.S. Bank strongly believes in this position, which is the reason we provide Trusteer Rapport to you free of charge to protect against the dangers of malware and online fraud.

What can Trusteer Rapport do for you?

1. Protects against Zero-day browser exploits such as the more recent Internet Explorer issue. There is no need to wait days or weeks for a vendor security update. Trusteer Rapport protects you on Day One.


2. Protects against credential-stealing financial malware. Financial malware can infiltrate your workstation unnoticed and steal sensitive information such as online banking credentials and credit card numbers. Trusteer Rapport blocks these programs before they can harm you.


3. Helps cleanse your workstations already infected with financial malware.


4. Works with your existing anti-virus software to give you a stronger, layered protection from financial malware.

Utilizing Trusteer Rapport in conjunction with your existing security products and following best practices such as dual approval for financial transactions will help place a virtual fortress between criminals and your online banking activity.
