Entersekt appoints IST Networks as reseller for Middle East and Turkey
Entersekt , a mobile enabled digital banking security provider , announced a partnership with IST Networks . Systems integrator IST now offers Entersekt ’ s Transakt technology to banks and other enterprises operating in the region .
Transakt is a patented multi-factor authentication and app security product that provides protection from phishing and other attacks targeting the online , mobile , and card-not-present channels . It uses digital certificate technology and proprietary mobile validation techniques to form a trusted communication channel between service providers and their customersí mobile phones or tablets .
Secure push messages are delivered to users over this channel , which is fully out of band . Users approve or reject transactions with one tap , and their responses are digitally signed . Transakt secures the process in the background . There is no need for one-time passwords . One-time password OTP-based authentication remains the predominant means of securing digital banking in the Middle East , particularly in Saudi Arabia and Bahrain where SMS OTPs or mTANs are widely used . It is , however , no longer fit for purpose , being increasingly compromised by phishing and SIM-swap attacks and providing a cumbersome user experience .
