Croatia-based Zagrebacka bank, a member of the UniCredit Group, has deployed Aladdin eToken NG-Flash to its online customers using its e-zaba banking services. It is the premiere USB-based PKI authentication solution, combining smartcard authentication with encrypted flash memory to provide strong user authentication, identity and access management tools and strong encryption to store and protect sensitive data and applications.

Integrated into Logos’s PKI VAS, eToken NG-Flash enables secure storage of user’s credentials and the private key, and through PKI VAS modules enables digital signing of documents and transactions to prevent identity theft and fraud. Further, the encrypted storage serves as a software delivery platform for Zagrebacka bank tools and applications, resulting with simple and fast installation of PKI software components, at the same time providing customers a convenient means of storing sensitive documents in an encrypted format.

Luka Tomaškovic, Head of Cash Management at Zagrebacka bank, said:  “From very beginning of development of its e-banking services, Zagrebacka bank identified two-factor authentication as a key component for e-zaba on-line services, with PKI and smartcard- based digital signature as the authentication technology for its e-zaba service for corporate clients. After years of successful and wide-spread implementation of PKI smartcards, Aladdin eToken devices were natural step in bank’s efforts to provide the highest quality banking experience for our online banking customers.

“Aladdin eToken, tightly integrated with Logos’s PKI application modules, allows our customers not only to complete online banking transactions with the complete assurance that their bank account is protected and their identity secure from cybercriminals, but to have safe and encrypted storage for their documents and information in one single device,” he added.

Shlomi Yanai, Vice President of Authentication at SafeNet, said: “Financial institutions like Zagrebacka bank who are seeking to provide a secure online banking experience for their customers are increasingly turning to eToken strong authentication solutions. With the merger of SafeNet and Aladdin, financial institutions offering online banking solutions can take advantage of the expanded portfolio of authentication solutions from SafeNet and Aladdin to protect sensitive data and guard against the increasing threats of cybercrime.”
