Former FBI Executive Assistant Director to Keynote ATM & Mobile Innovation Summit

LOUISVILLE, KY (PRWEB) August 06, 2014

Networld Media Group has announced that Shawn Henry, president of CrowdStrike Services, will keynote the ATM & Mobile Innovation Summit, which is to be held on Sept. 10-12 at the Capital Hilton in Washington, DC.

Henry retired as FBI executive assistant director in 2012. During his career as a special agent, he served in three FBI field offices and at the bureau’s headquarters.

Henry is credited with boosting the FBI’s computer crime and cybersecurity investigative capabilities. He oversaw computer crime investigations spanning the globe, including denial-of-service attacks, bank and corporate breaches, and state-sponsored intrusions. He posted FBI cyber experts in police agencies around the world, including the Netherlands, Romania, Ukraine and Estonia.

During his keynote presentation on Sept. 12, Henry will shock attendees with the realities of today’s hackers and the vulnerabilities everyone in the banking and payments industries face. Following his speech, CrowdStrike’s crack team of security gurus will demonstrate how to protect today’s financial channels from compromise.

“The financial services sector and consumers are under attack from criminals around the world,” said Henry. “They aggressively and systematically seek personal and financial information for economic gain, and new strategies and processes are required to better protect and maintain resilient computer networks.”

The Summit is a partnership between Networld Media Group and the Electronic Funds Transfer Association (EFTA) and is sponsored by the ATM Industry Association (ATMIA) and MagTek.

The event will feature about 40 speakers, including representatives from organizations like PAI, Bitpay, RoboCoin, SECU of Maryland, TecBan, US Bank, MasterCard, Early Warning, Glenbrook, Citi, CU24, Bank of America, Federal Reserve Financial Services, and several government agencies, regulators and attorneys.

This Summit has been created specifically for financial institutions, payment companies, analyst and legal firms, processors, card networks, security firms, large retailers and ATM deployers. Registration is now open at atmandmobilesummit.com, and early-bird pricing is in effect until Friday, August 8th.

Interbank Selects Wavetec Technology for Innovation in Its Service Areas

Lima, Peru (PRWEB) May 10, 2014

Interbank is one of the main financial institutions in Peru. Since its foundation in 1897, the company has been actively expanding with a focus on high-quality customer service-centered policy. Interbank is currently serving more than 2 million customers.

On the premise “customer is a person and not a number”, the need for changing customer service arose, where the new customer service would require a technological partner with the ability to offer a complete solution to the project’s requirements. In this context, Interbank chose Wavetec (http://www.wavetec.com) as a technological ally for the implementation of a centralized system including the installation of customized kiosks, Donatello’s digital signage solution for the announcements on LCD displays, and the eQ Portal application for complete management of the system and gathering of key performance indicators.

With a clear strategy to provide the brand with a human side and designed to improve customer relationship, Interbank proposed to make a radical change in its service areas. The main goal of this change was to build a new banking experience that brought together the company to its customers, in a collaborative and friendly environment that breaks the traditional view of the customers regarding banks. This new banking service model is already implemented in over 100 Interbank branches.

Wavetec is a multinational technology company based in Dubai that offers an ecosystem of solutions for the improvement of the service areas, meeting the company’s needs in organizing the influx of people, guaranteeing a valuable engagement experience, and obtaining relevant measures for the decision-making process so as to improve business results.

The Wavetec Queue Management Systems, Digital Signage and Customer Feedback measurements are located in different regions with applications in various areas and industries like hospitals, retail and banks. Some examples of the technology can be found on the BCI Chile, Barclays, Emirates Airlines, Tesco, LIDL and Chilexpress.
