“Any opportunity to dramatically reduce the chance of personal information theft, account information breaches, misuse of login authentication, or credit card fraud is welcome,” said Tom Powledge, Head of Cybersecurity Business for Verimatrix.

“Verimatrix XTD Accessibility Abuse Detector™ is a great feature because it proactively prevents overlay attacks, one of the more prevalent mobile app exploits we see in banking and financial services. It’s a real win for customers as they are able to suspend compromised app instances to avoid financial losses or credential theft,” added Powledge.
