ADT Anti-Skim™ ATM Security Solutions

Introducing the next level of protection against ATM skimming

Your ATM network is a 24/7 convenience to countless customers for everyday banking services. A level of trust is maintained when using this convenience. If that trust is broken, so is your customer relationship.

Unfortunately, with more than 1.5 million ATMs worldwide, this relationship is at risk due to the rise of ATM fraud. Up to $1.2 billion in global losses are reported annually from electronic crime and credit card fraud associated with ATMs.*

What is ATM skimming?

ATM skimming is when criminals electronically steal or “skim” a cardholder’s personal financial information during ATM transactions. By fitting an unseen portable electronic card reader and mini camera onto an ATM, they can potentially “cash out” debit card accounts, clone new debit/credit cards or sell cardholder personal information to crime syndicates.

Customers count on ATM security. But with ATM skimming on the rise, customer confidence is threatened. In fact, 67% of U.S. adults who use banking ATMs would be likely to switch institutions after an instance of ATM fraud or data breach.** It is essential that financial institutions take corrective measures to ensure banking security.

Multiple points of protection to ensure ATM security

The bundled Anti-Skim ATM security solution, only available through ADT, surrounds your ATMs with multiple points of protection against ATM skimming

1. Helps thwart card-skimming attempts CPK+ technology creates a protective shield around the card entry slot, helping to render card- reader skimming devices useless and to protect the integrity of ATM cardholder data and personal financial information.
2. Detects skimming devices and triggers alarm signals Anti-skimming surface sensors detect the presence of foreign objects placed over card-entry slots and trigger silent alarm notification to ADT or a bank’s monitoring command center.
3. Activates video sequencing of skimming activities ADT Anti-Skim™ sensing devices can be integrated with ATM or vestibule surveillance DVRs for video documentation and sequencing of skimming activities and corresponding ATM customer transactions.
4. Can feature an ADT alarm-monitored response When you add ADT Monitoring Centers to monitor your ATM security program, you can receive real-time notification of ATM skimming occurrences and law enforcement or security can be dispatched to review ATMs in alarm or remove detected skimming devices.

Anti-skimming technology for all makes and models

With ADT Anti-Skim™ ATM Security Solutions as part of your security program, you are better equipped to safeguard your ATM customers against skimming crimes. The ADT solution works on all major ATM makes and models, and on both motorized and non-motorized card readers. It can integrate seamlessly with branch security systems, such as intrusion detection alarm panels and video surveillance DVRs, for more effective, layered ATM security.

At the core of ADT Anti-Skim™ Security Solutions is CPK+* (Card Protection Kit) technology, an advanced anti-skimming protective device installed inside your ATMs near the ATM’s card reader.

CPK+ Jamming Transmitter
CPK+ helps prevent the skimming of card data by emitting an electromagnetic field to interrupt the operation of an illegal card-reader head, without interrupting the customer transaction or the operation of most ATMs.

Surface Detection Kit (SDK)
The SDK sensor helps detect foreign devices placed near or over the ATM card-entry slot, whether made of plastic, paper, iron or wood. Upon detection, ADT Anti-Skim™ Security Solutions relays output signals from the SDK, triggering silent alarms for monitoring center response, or to coordinate DVR surveillance sequencing of skimming activities.
